Hello Class of 2024 Parents! 

It’s GO time! Our kids are SENIORS and we are in the home stretch to ensure that our students have a fun and memorable final year of high school!

As your parent leads for the graduating class of 2024, our role is to raise funds as well as plan and execute key graduation celebrations for our grade. Our efforts fall under the PTSA, and we rely on YOUR help in supporting our over 400 seniors!

These CAPSTONE EVENTS are important for providing a sense of community and closure in an important chapter in our student’s journey. They offer an opportunity to celebrate, reflect and create lasting memories that will carry them into the future:

  1. PROM
  2. BACCALAUREATE
  3. SENIOR BREAKFAST
  4. GRAD NIGHT

We are excited for a GREAT year and appreciate our amazing parent community! Event details and Class of 2024 information will continue to be updated and you can follow our efforts and our student Class Officers on Instagram at Bellevue2024.  Go Wolverines and Class of 2024!
