Come Be a Shanahan Eagle for the Day!

We Can't Wait to Have You With Us for a 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.
