I am working on starting a Bombers Hall of Fame for athletic achievements throughout our district's history.
I am starting from the ground up and need to take the next step in creating a Hall of Fame committee. I'm looking for individuals who are knowledgeable with Brownstown's athletic history, have great pride in our school district's athletic department, and/or willing to give their time for meetings and discussions in regards to the group. We have some decisions to make soon as I would like to have our 1st Hall of Fame inductions sometime this winter.
If you are interested in being a member of this committee, please email me @ jsefton@bcusd201.com or call the BHS High School @ 618-427-3839.
Thanks -Jessica Sefton, Athletic Director
