If you are interested in shaping the future of this school, then please consider running for a position on the Honor Code Committee. We are looking for five concerned and committed students to create a Bill of Rights and Responsibilities for BHSEC II. Those elected will have the chance to shape the culture of this community for years to come, but they will also be responsible for doing so thoughtfully and conscientiously. This is no small thing: students representatives will be required to meet on a regular basis throughout the term to work on the document.

We are looking for two Year Ones, two 9^th Graders, and one Member at Large (who can be a student from either group). Students will be elected by their peers to these positions in the next few weeks. If you would be willing to let your name stand for election, please submit a statement of purpose detailing why you are interested in a position on the Honor Code Committee and why you would be an asset to the group. All submissions should be placed in Kate Millington’s box in the Main Office by Friday February 27, 2009.

Great opportunity! See below:

Bezos Scholars Program at the Aspen Institute

The Bezos Scholars Program at the Aspen Institute, a collaboration between the Bezos Family Foundation  ( http://bezosfamilyfoundation.org/ ) and the Aspen Institute  ( http://www.aspeninstitute.org/ ), is designed to bring together twelve of the United States’ top high school juniors to engage  in seminars and informal meetings with the international leaders,  thinkers, and creative artists who participate in the annual  Aspen Ideas Festival (June 30 – July 6, 2009).

The program provides the participating juniors with seven-day,  all-expense-paid scholarships to attend the festival. An educator  from each student’s school also will be awarded a full scholarship,  thereby offering a unique leadership development opportunity for  students and educators. At the Aspen Ideas Festival, the scholars  have opportunities to speak one-on-one with world leaders, global  thinkers, and acclaimed entertainers. Past scholars have met with  inventor Dean Kamen, Supreme Court justice Sandra Day O’Connor,  Her Majesty Queen Noor, Secretary of State Colin Powell, and President Bill Clinton, among others. Following their time in Aspen,  the Student Scholar/Educator Scholar teams will return home and apply for $1,000 School Award Grants to use in creating local Ideas Festivals in their schools.

Applicants must be a high school junior with a GPA of 3.5 or  higher taking Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate  classes and a legal U.S. citizen or permanent resident of the  U.S. They must also demonstrate leadership in school and their  community and have exceptional PSAT/SAT/or ACT scores.

View the Bezos Scholars Program Web site for complete program  details.
