BCHS is proud to announce our students of the month for March! Congratulations to the following students: 9th Grade - Drew Bryant Drew has an amazing attitude. Love having him in class. He is always leading his classmates and helping demonstrate techniques to be successful in the weight room. Drew is a hard worker and he strives to make a difference every day here at Boyne city High School. Love his outgoing personality and charming smile. His personality is contagious! He works hard everyday both on the field/court and in the class room. Proud of the young man he is becoming! 10th Grade - Addy Burns Addy is hardworking, consistent, thoughtful, and kind. She never complains about the challenge of balancing her academics, YAC, Big Brother/Big Sister, sports, and more, and she puts 100% effort into everything she does. Addy is a leader in the classroom, on the court, and in our community. We are lucky to have her! 11th Grade - Zander Shaler Zander has been doing a great job in all of his classes. He keeps up with his assignments and is always respectful to others. He is a great example of someone who is willing to put in the work and try his best in everything he does, even if it isn't his favorite class or material. I really appreciate his work ethic and attitude. 12th Grade - Elizabeth Shaler Ellie is an all around rock-star! Not only has she been working so hard this semester and knocking it out of the park, she is a true leader in the classroom and out. She embodies the true spirit of a Rambler with her ability to connect with others, always offering to help when needed, and greeting the day with a smile on her face. #boynepride

Don't forget that the 2025 Youth Art Show is still on display in Petoskey at the Crooked Tree Arts Center!
