Be a Shanahan Eagle for the Day!

The Shanahan Eagle for the Day Shadow Program allows students in 8th grade or those transferring from another high school to experience a typical day at BSHS. Visitors will be matched with a Shanahan student with similar interests, tour campus, attend classes, and enjoy a complimentary lunch with a student host. This program runs from October through May. 
We'll Meet You in the Main Office

Student visitors arrive by 8:00 AM in the school's main entrance and report to the Main Office, where they will meet a friendly admissions team member and their student ambassador. The student visitor attends classes with the ambassador throughout the day. The day concludes around 2:00 PM (the regular school day ends at 2:45 PM).
