Senior Portraits and Senior Ads

Senior Portraits and Senior Ads are great opportunities to celebrate your senior’s achievements as they complete their final year here at BHS! Both senior items have the same deadlines. The first deadline is soft, meaning you will still have until the second deadline to officially submit your portrait and/or completed ad. The final deadline is the hard deadline for your portrait and/or ad. No portraits and/or ads will be accepted after the final (hard) deadline.

Deadlines - Senior Portraits AND Senior Ads:
First (Soft) Deadline: Friday, November 1st, 2024 @ 5PM
Final (Hard) Deadline: Friday, November 15th, 2024 @ 5PM

SAT School Day Exam - October 24th

The SAT School Day exam for BHS is set for October 24th from 8:15-12:15am in the library. Priority is given to seniors. SAT School Day allows for students to take the SAT during the school day at their home high school. The exam will start in the AM in the library and will last approximately 3 1/2 hours. The deadline to register for the Fall SAT @ BHS is September 30th. Students register for the SAT School Day exam by going to RegiSmart. Students will then:

CREATE ACCOUNT
Select (Bothell)
Register, and pay for the exam
Details about cancellation policy are included

Students do not need to register for the SAT School Day exam on the College Board website. However, if a student wants to take the SAT exam on a different date & location throughout the year (not hosted by BHS) they must register for that exam on the College Board SAT website.

Graduating with Latin Honors

Starting with the Class of 2023, Northshore’s comprehensive high schools adopted the Latin terms to celebrate high-achieving students as follows:

Summa Cum Laude (with highest honors): top 5% of GPAs
Magna Cum Laude (with high honors): top 6-15% of GPAs
Cum Laude (with honors): top 16-30% of GPAs

Graduating seniors will be honored based on GPA as shown above. This new tradition will replace the previous tradition of naming valedictorians and salutatorians. Much like in the past with valedictorians and salutatorians, students receiving Latin honors will be recognized during graduation ceremonies, assemblies, and/or other recognition programs. By refining our recognitions, our high schools are aligning with systems used in higher education while also giving deserved recognition to additional high-achieving students.
