The Purple Star Award recognizes schools that show a major commitment to students and families connected to our nation’s military. During Monday’s Military and Muffins celebration Bradley High School was awarded the Purple Star designation.

Over 800 students in our junior and senior class attended the event. The vendors that attended were from HEALTHCARE, SKILLED TRADES, MILITARY/CORRECTIONS and ADVANCED MANUFACTURING. We were thankful for the opportunities this event gave our students.

Finally, beginning tonight, Hilliard Bradley Theater presents Pippin. Please come support our program and the wonderful students who have worked so hard on this production.
