Alumni Hall
Alumni Hall
Graduating senior class composites are hung in our athletic wing each year so alumni can always come back and view them. The pictures start from 1961 and continue on by class until the current year.
Fun Fact :
Battle Mountain High School was originally located in Redcliff and were the bulldogs. In 1964 the high school relocated to Maloit Park in Minturn and changed the mascot to a husky.
Concerts
Cocoa & Cram / Pizza & Practice
Get Ready For Finals!
Ever been stressed about final exams? BMHS students have had the benefit to have a positive atmosphere in which to review for final exams. Cocoa & Cram (Winter) / Pizza & Practice (Spring) is hosted by Link Crew Leader Mr. Alex Peltier. In days preceding final exams, students have been welcome to come to the library and review for finals for a couple hours after school. To encourage attendance, hot cocoa and pizza were provided. To accommodate different study preferences, there is usually a "quiet" room for independent focus, and a more interactive space for group study/review.
Freshmen Orientation
First Day of School (Freshmen Only)
Link Crew is a team of juniors and seniors that mentor freshmen students at BMHS. These students act as facilitators for freshman orientation and provide support and assistance to freshmen as they enter high school.
