Good Afternoon Jaguar Families,

I thank our families for attending this week’s orchestra concert. The students did an excellent job, and we look forward to their next concert.

Next Wednesday, March 6th, the Bradley Choir will perform its winter concert at 7:00 pm. The Bradley Band is performing its winter concert next Thursday, March 7th, at 7 pm. Both performances will be held in the PAC. We would love for you to join us both nights.

Also, on Wednesday, March 6th, from 7:40 am to 12:00 pm, we will administer the SAT to all Junior students.  Students not taking the SAT will work remotely from home for the day. SAT Parent Information

The National Merit Scholarship Program has now determined which of the 16,000 Semifinalists named in September 2023 that have met all requirements to advance to Finalist standing in the competition. Hilliard Bradley High School’s Finalists in the 2023-2024 National Merit Scholarship Competition include Aayush R. Kumar and Maxton Wayt. These students will be recognized at the March 11th board meeting.

This weekend is a big event weekend for our Jaguars.  Wrestling districts begin today at Darby High School beginning at 4:00 pm. The Bradley cheerleaders will compete at the state competition beginning at 10:18 am and 4:19 pm at Big Walnut High School.  Lilly Gibbs will compete in the gymnastics state championship at Bradley High School on Sunday beginning at 10:00 am.

We’re quickly approaching the end of the third nine weeks of this school year — time truly flies! It remains crucial that your child is present in school every day so they can nurture the essential skills identified by our community in our Portrait of a Learner.  Above all, our goal is to cultivate Resilient Learners—students who adapt positively to change, show flexibility in their thinking and actions and learn and grow from both their achievements and setbacks. In this video, a Hilliard parent and local college professor, will shed light on the significance of these skills in today’s ever-changing world.

Each day your student isn’t in school, they are missing out on strategies and opportunities to develop their skills in this area further. Your active involvement and support play a pivotal role in this journey. Together, let’s ensure that your child’s presence at school continues to be a cornerstone of their growth and success.

Have a great weekend, and Go Jags!

Good Afternoon Jaguar Parents,

It was another great week at Bradley High School. I would like to begin by thanking Nancy Ysseldyke for her hard work putting together the Bradley High School Military Appreciation Night. The night was a success, and we look forward to more events like this as we continue to work to recognize our military families in Hilliard.

I would like to thank all of our families and staff who had an opportunity to attendHilliard Bradley Theater’s presentation of Arsenic and Old Lace last weekend. We are so proud of our talented students!

We will hold virtual and in-person parent-teacher conferences on Wednesday, February 14 from 2:45 pm to 7:00 pm. The signup window is open. Please click the following link for signups. Please do not hesitate to contact me or your student’s teacher with immediate questions or concerns.

Congratulations to the Bradley Ethics Bowl team comprised of seniors Reem Kadimi Skalli, Noha Abu, Lindsey Cruz-Garcia, Sammi Lewis, and junior Noelle Demianenko, for their excellent performance at the Ohio High School Regional Ethics Bowl Contest, held at the University of Findlay on Saturday, January 27th.  Bradley won or tied all three of their preliminary rounds, and they defeated Hilliard Darby in the final round to advance to the Divisional Playoff against the Cincinnati High School Ethics Bowl Regional winner on Wednesday, February 7th. The winner of that competition will advance to the National competition at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in April! Excellent work ladies and good luck in the next round!

Finally, at Hilliard City Schools, our core mission is to prepare students to be Ready for Tomorrow.  We believe every student possesses the ability to achieve this mission.  Whether your child dreams of becoming a scientist, an artist, a teacher or joining the military, consistent attendance sets the stage for their success to become resilient learners.  Regular attendance is the cornerstone of how to make this happen for every student, without exception.

HILLIARD BRADLEY THEATER PRESENTS “QUICKSHOT’S ALIBI”

One show only, Friday February 9 at 7 pm (doors open at 6:40 pm)

Hilliard Bradley High School, Performing Arts Center

Admission is FREE (we will be accepting donations at the door)

This year, Bradley Theater’s annual student one act (written, directed, and run by our theater students) was based on a script writing contest.  The winner was “Quickshot’s Alibi” by Madison Sheard.  It is being directed by Julian Perez.

“It’s the heart of the Goldrush era, and Canyon Springs has been overrun by a group of outlaws who call themselves “The Blackheart Mafia.” Naturally, the townsfolk turn to local hero, Quickshot, to put an end to the mafia’s tyrannical rule. Yet, unfortunate timing would see her retire just before their arrival, and she’s not looking to get back into crime fighting. In a shocking turn of events, an all too eager member of The Blackheart Mafia inspires Quickshot to put her personal grievances aside, and fight for the greater good to save Canyon Springs. Unbeknownst to Quickshot, the one who took her out of the business is the one to drag her right back in.”
