WELCOME BACK!
It’s that time of year again! It’s almost August 17 and we all know what that means! We are so excited to welcome your students back to Brussels Junior/High School. We will have a Meet the Teacher/Orientation Night on August 16 at 6:15 in the Gym. You will be able to Meet the Teacher and we will present some important information about the coming year. Following the presentation in the gym, students will be able to bring their items to the high school building and “move in” to their lockers.

We look forward to seeing everyone on August 16 at 6:15 in the Gym!

Our home course will be located at the Lockhaven Golf Club in Godfrey, Illinois, which is approximately 40 minutes from Brussels High School. Participants will not only learn the ins and outs of golf, they will develop and improve their skills, have access to simulators, be able to schedule tee times as a team, participate in competition play, and build confidence and teamwork skills. If you are interested in golf, please check your email and complete the survey that was sent out by Mrs. Hartle.
