Good Afternoon Jaguar Families,

As we prepare for graduation next Wednesday, I would like to thank all of our senior parents for sharing your children with us. Over the past four years, we have watched them grow into a special group of young adults who are going to do amazing things in the future. They will truly be missed.

Bradley High School’s graduation ceremony will be held on Wednesday,  May 21st, beginning promptly at 7:00 p.m. at the Schottenstein Center on The Ohio State University campus. Graduating seniors must arrive no later than 6:00 p.m.

The week of May 26th, we will administer final exams for underclassmen on Tuesday, May 27th, through Friday, May 30th.  As we approach final exams, please discuss with your students about the upcoming exam schedule. Click Here

Have a great weekend, and Go Jags!
