Be a Shanahan Eagle for the Day

'21-'22 Shadow Days

​We hope to resume Shadow Days in the 2021 - 2022 school year. Stay tuned!
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). 

Wear Your School Uniform or Nice, Casual Clothes

Wondering what to wear during your Shanahan Eagle for the Day visit? Your school uniform or nice, casual clothes (no jeans or t-shirts, please) will be perfect.​
