Good day parents and potential students. My name is Airman 1st Class Rasheed Hester. I am currently an Airman in the U.S. Air Force. I am a graduate of BHP, class of 2004. Bhp has it's high's as well as lows. But the definite high point would be the teachers and staff. Not all of them, but the grand majority of them care about about the students education so sincerely, I have no choice but to commend them publicly. If you are looking for a school that can adapt to a students learnig abilities, this is a good choice. I myself had problems, because I hated math. Because I hated it, I was horrible in it, and I had to take two math courses my 12 grade year. But without the support of the teachers and staff, I never would have made it to where I am now.
