This morning we celebrated the Girls and Boys Track & Field state qualifiers with the traditional ‘“Breakfast of Champions” held by the athletic office. Never take a trip to state for granted, it’s a super tough road to get there that not all get a chance to experience!

Giant state track seniors graduate tonight! Awesome speeches by class president (and BD trackwoman) Kaylah Flowers and valedictorian (and BD Trackman) Nathan Mugoovi! Thanks to all the family and friends that helped celebrate this occasion!

Tonight our BD Giant senior state qualifiers get to be the first BD 2026 graduates in a special Graduation Ceremony! The Wayne Township dedicated & caring school board, Cabinet and BD administration take care of our students when graduation conflicts with the State Meet. Thanks!
