* About Our School
 

Bethel Park High School is a four-year, comprehensive high school with an enrollment of 1,937 students in grades 9-12. Set up much like a college campus, BPHS consists of eight buildings on an 80-acre campus. And, like a college, courses have been developed to provide a challenging educational experience for students, including 10 Advanced Placement courses, 14 Honors courses and four Foreign Languages.

 
Did you know that the Bethel Park High School Class of 2009 will be the 100th graduating class from Bethel Park?  We're looking forward to a year-long celebration in 2008-2009 with several events in the planning stages.  Please check back throughout the year to find out what has been planned.  We invite you to read a history of Bethel Park High School.  Please click here for more information.

There will be an orientation for all incoming freshmen and new students as well as their parents on Wednesday, August 20 at 6:30 PM in the auditorium.  Please bring your schedule with you as the second half of the orientation will be spent walking your schedule.  Parents should also attend. Please read Dr. Jansante's Welcome Back Letter for all the details.
 
District to use ALERTNOW Notification Service as an additional communication tool between the school district and parents--Keeping parents informed is a top priority of the Bethel Park School District, and we will be using the ALERTNOW Notification Service to send telephone and/or email messages to parents and/or employees to notify them of things such as school delays or cancellations due to inclement weather.  With ALERTNOW, you won't have to watch television to wait for Bethel Park's status to scroll onto the screen.  Parents will be notified by phone when the district makes the decision to close or delay.  ALERTNOW can also be used to remind parents of upcoming events at school.  But most importantly, in an emergency, ALERTNOW has the capability to launch 12,000 phone calls a minute, so parents don't have to rely on Phone Chains to get emergency information.  In an emergency, ALERTNOW has the capability to call up to three phone numbers per student.  ALERTNOW also has the capability to send out email messages to one email address per student, but we will not test the email system until the fall. Your child will be bringing a form home for parents to complete with your updated contact information.  It is important that you complete the forms and return them to school as soon as possible so we have the most up-to-date contact information for you.   Please click here to learn more about ALERTNOW.  We hope you will agree that ALERTNOW is another way the district can keep parents up to date.
 
Edline Now Available for Bethel Park High School Parents! Parents whose children attend Bethel Park High School now have electronic access to their child's academic progress through Edline. In September all parents received an Edline Activation Code via U.S. Mail. Parents are encouraged to go to www.edline.net and activate their child's account. The website will guide you through the process. Once an account is activated, parents can see their child's interim grades posted for the 2nd, 4th, 6th and 8th weeks for assignments, tests and quizzes, as well as attendance and final report card grades. Parents who have difficulty accessing Edline can contact Donna Murphy (412-854-8581), Wanda Gratton (412-854-8591), Judy Daley (412-854-8584) or Lynne Pieczynski (412-854-8571). We encourage all parents to stay up to date with their child's progress via Edline. Parents who do not have access to the Internet can do so at the Bethel Park Library. Librarians are available to assist.
