Food Drive

Dear BMHS Families,

We are excited to announce that Battle Mountain will be holding a school-wide Food Drive from November 10 through November 21. All donations can be dropped off in the main lobby and will be donated to the Salvation Army and the Community Market.

The grade level that collects the most donations will win a prize! We are asking all families to help support our school community by donating non-perishable food items, such as canned goods, boxed food items, pasta, rice, soup, etc.

Every item makes a difference. Your support helps families in need this holiday season. Please consider donating and encourage your students to participate. Thank you for helping BMHS make a positive impact.

Sincerely,
Student Council Philanthropy

Project Graduation 2026

Volunteers Needed!
Parents and guardians of freshmen, sophomores, and juniors — we need your help planning Project Graduation 2026!

It's tradition for underclassmen families to “pay it forward” by organizing this unforgettable event, allowing senior parents to focus on graduation celebrations. Our first meeting will be in January.

What is Project Graduation?
Project Graduation is a fun, meaningful, and supervised celebration for Battle Mountain High School seniors held on graduation night. It offers a safe, drug- and alcohol-free environment during one of the highest-risk evenings for teens.

For over 20 years, this cherished event has been entirely planned and funded by parent volunteers — and we can't do it without you!

To help, please send an email to bmhsprojectgraduationco@gmail.com.
