The Class of 2026 is getting a jump start on their high school career.

Eighth-graders have spent the last few days touring classrooms to learn about the many elective courses offered at Bellefontaine High School.

Students have visited the following elective areas: business, family and consumer science, tech, physical education/health, art, and world language.

Chieftain Leaders walked the incoming freshmen around BHS each morning.

The eighth-graders then interacted with teachers and students in each elective course.

The hands-on experience is expected to help make the transition easier from middle school to high school.

Eighth-graders recently started filling out their freshman class schedule.
