Yearbooks have arrived for last year's 8th graders who ordered them. They can be picked up here at the school during regular hours. Last year's 8th graders who have siblings at the school should have already received their yearbooks.

Thank you to all our parents and community for their patience and understanding as we worked to dismiss through the traffic backups today on Route 73. We want to give a big thank you to the Preston County Sheriff's Department and Bruceton/Brandonville Fire Department for helping us with traffic control as we dismissed buses and car riders.

After conferring with 911 involving the traffic accident in the Bruceton area, all Bruceton area students at Preston High will be released at 11:20am. Buses will go to Bruceton School to pickup students before starting their afternoon run. With the backed up traffic, students may arrive home later than normal. Bruceton school parent pickup will begin at noon prior to the buses arriving. Officers are on site to assist with traffic in the area. Thank you for your patience in this matter.

After reading the novel “Sarah, Plain and Tall,” or studying the scientific method with physical and chemical changes, 4th grade classrooms turned into bakeries! Each student made a loaf of homemade bread. Students learned the economical value of making your own bread and the science behind it. This “doughy” fun also helped with building our math habits of mind learning to use various measurement tools. #SchoolOfChampions #GoodThingsHappenHere

Just a reminder that tomorrow, Friday, September 12th, 2025, students will be dismissed 2 hours early. Again, tomorrow the 12th is a 2 Hour Early Out for students in order to conduct Staff Meetings and Professional Development.

On Sept. 11, 2001, America was forever changed. It has been 24 years since the attacks, but that tragic day, which served as a true test of the American spirit, will be remembered always. So on this day, we observe Patriot Day and all that it represents—we honor the value of life, those we loved and lost, our country’s resilience, and the strength of the American spirit. Even the smallest act of service, the simplest act of kindness, is a way to honor those we lost, a way to reclaim that spirit of unity that followed 9/11. When Americans lend a hand to one another, nothing is impossible. We’re not about what happened on 9/11. We’re about what happened on 9/12.

The Bruceton Bulldog Cross Country teams delivered an impressive performance this past weekend, kicking off with the Lightning XC Invitational at Broadford Park on Friday.
The Bulldog boys dominated the field, with Eli Parker claiming the top spot and Colt Spiker finishing right behind him in second. Jackson Wotring capped off a fantastic day for the team with a strong 9th place finish, solidifying his place among the top 10.
On the girls' side, 5th grader Elaina Armstrong showcased her talent, finishing 3rd overall against two exceptional 8th graders. Brooke Smith also made her mark, crossing the line in 8th place to secure a coveted ribbon.
Saturday morning saw 8th grade standout Tyler Parks head to Mineral Wells to compete against some of the state's finest at the Chick-fil-A Invitational. In a fierce race, Tyler exhibited his grit but ultimately placed 3rd, with all three top finishers smashing the meet record on a challenging muddy course.
