Beardsley Junior High School

I am very proud to welcome you to Beardsley Junior High School for the 2025–2026 school year. BJHS is home to nearly 400 students in grades seven and eight. Our dedicated staff works tirelessly to provide exceptional teaching grounded in best educational practices. Their commitment to student success is the foundation of all we achieve.

Beardsley Junior High School offers something for every student. In addition to our core subjects—English, Math, Science, Social Studies, and Physical Education—we provide a wide array of engaging elective classes, including:

• Art – Students discover and develop their creative talents

• Band – Both beginning and symphonic levels

• Broadcasting – A student-operated live newscast where students work in front of and behind the cameras (Coming soon as an after-school club!)

• Choir and Music Appreciation

• Project Lead the Way (PLTW) – Design and Modeling (7th grade) and Automation & Robotics / Medical Detectives (8th grade), bringing hands-on STEM learning to BJHS

• Science Fair – Students design and complete a project from start to finish, with opportunities to compete at the county and state levels

New Electives for 2025–2026:
Photography/Yearbook/Newspaper, Oral Language Festival, Sports & Conditioning, and Spanish 1 & 2.

Beyond the school day, BJHS students can also participate in a variety of extracurricular activities, including after-school sports, colorguard, and drum line.

Our mission is to educate and empower every student to be prepared for the world beyond Beardsley Junior High. The administration and staff maintain high expectations for both academics and behavior. If you are a parent who shares these values, let’s work together to ensure your student becomes a productive and confident individual—one who is better off because they attended Beardsley Junior High School.

"Once a Beardsley Bear,  Always a Beardsley Bear!"

Sincerely,

Monica West
