Berlin High School

🧸 Preschool Promotion!

Our Little Redcoats officially celebrated the completion of their very first full year in school! It has been a wonderful year filled with growth, discovery, and so much fun learning.

To make their celebration even more special, the amazing Mr. Boyle accompanied them for a special song that had everyone smiling. Now, these proud preschoolers are ready to split off into the Berlin elementary schools to continue their journey in the BHS community. We are so proud of you, Class of 2039! 🎒✨

🥞✨ Class of 2026: We’re Not Letting You Go Just Yet! ✨🎓

We know graduation was on Friday, but if you think we’re done celebrating the Class of 2026 on social media... think again! We still have some great memories to share, starting with a look back at last week's Senior Breakfast!

It was such a fun, relaxed morning to just hang out, eat, and get those yearbooks signed before the craziness of the final weekend. The energy in the room was incredible and the perfect way to kick off the final countdown.

We still have a few things left to roll out from the final week, so make sure to keep your eyes on our page...

📸 Stay tuned for the graduation photos and more coming your way soon! 🟥🟦

Yesterday they walked through the halls that built them. Today, they walk across the stage into the future. ✨🎓

🎥 Can’t make it in person? Watch the graduation ceremony LIVE on BHS TV starting at 5:30 PM! 👇 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEhJ_fOedGo

17-0 AND CCC CHAMPIONS!!!🏆🔥

Against the best 15 teams in the conference, the Lady Redcoats proved they are in a league of their own! Berlin defeated favored Farmington by 11 strokes to defend their CCC Tournament title—capping off a perfect, undefeated regular season!

Junior Captain Ella Michaud led the way as the overall Tournament Medalist with an incredible round of 80! Look at how the rest of the lineup crushed it to secure the winning 344 total:

🔴 Captain Grace Buchholz (86)
🔴 Captain Abbey Andros (87)
🔴 Alexa Zup (91)
🔴 Lena Marion (93)

Not only did Ella, Grace, Abbey, and Alexa finish in the Top 10 to take home individual medals, but in a massive, unprecedented achievement for the program, all five players earned All-Conference honors for their play during the regular season! Absolute dominance from top to bottom. 🎖️

Next stop: States! This Monday, the girls head to Tashua Knolls to tee it up and chase a historic fifth consecutive State Championship. The “Drive for Five” is officially ON! Let’s go, Redcoats! ⛳️
