BHHS Choirs had a few exciting events last week. Chamber Singers delivered singing valentines on Wednesday, 2/14. Thank you to everyone who supported this fun event, and special thanks to Miss Bechtel for playing bass and mandolin! On Friday, 2/16, seven students participated in LVC Honors Choir at Lebanon Valley College. They spent the day learning brand new music with school students from other high schools, and they performed a wonderful concert in the evening.
Our next featured senior is Sadie Santangini.
Sadie says: I will be majoring in Physical Therapy as my future career. I plan to go to Kutztown University and receive a Bachelor's of Science Degree in Allied Health. After that, I plan to go to DeSales University and get a Doctorate of Physical Therapy in their DPT program.
My favorite BHASD memory would be, having my teachers come to my Nutcracker performance, that was in December. Seeing them walk down the auditorium to greet me after the show was a moment that I would never forget. Those teachers were Mrs. Bleiler, Ms. Stadt, Mrs. Ehrets, Mrs. Paxson, Sra. Warsing, and Mr. Tannous.
I greatly want to thank Mrs. Lambert for deepening my love toward the health field, specifically anatomy. Her way of teaching has pushed me to learn the proper way to study and how to retain that information. Ever since I was in her biology class, during sophomore year, I knew that she was the teacher that would impact my future the greatest. I also want to thank Dr. Graham for helping me improve as an artist and expanding my horizons on the materials used to convey art. Along with that, I want to thank him for deepening my love of dinosaurs and showing me the proper way of drawing them anatomically correct.
Congratulations to our recent #newHEIGHTS award winners, who were recognized at the February school board meeting. Thank you for your continued dedication and support to our BHASD students!
Our next featured senior is Emma Lukenich!
Emma says: My future plans include continuing my education at Millersville University where I will be studying Applied Engineering and Construction Management for the next 4 years.
My favorite memory from BHASD was probably the accomplishments that I have reached within my desired sports including, coming 3rd in the state for wrestling and then becoming district champs in softball the following season. The memories I have made and the bonds that have come from them will always be my favorite.
I would like to say thank you to all my teachers who have helped me in the past 4 years, including Mrs.Kost, Mrs. Greiss, Stadt, and Mrs. Thompson. They have made a great impact on who I am as a person today. From supporting me in sports, to supporting me in the classroom. They forever will be some of the greatest people I have gotten the chance to meet and grow up with.
On Sunday the BHHS Jazz Ensemble performed at the SteelStacks High School Jazz Band Showcase. The group won Best Reed Section, and senior Angelina DeChristopher won Best Jazz Brass Soloist. Congratulations to these students and to the entire group for an outstanding performance!

Please help us congratulate this exceptional group of 11th grade students who were accepted into the Medical Health Professions Program for the 2024-2025 school year! BCTC, Penn State Berks, and Tower Health collaborate to offer this program to stand-out Berks County students. The program combines high level academics with the opportunity to shadow healthcare professionals and earn college credits. The program exposes high school seniors to various healthcare professions so they can make more informed decisions about their future education. We’re so proud and can’t wait to see all that you’ll take away from this opportunity!
This week, we are celebrating our remarkable school counselor team. BHASD is incredibly fortunate to have dedicated and compassionate guidance counselors who go above and beyond to support our students. Join us in expressing heartfelt appreciation for all they do!
Our next featured senior is Ceirra Sacks! Ceirra says:
In the fall I will attend my dream college, Delaware Valley University of Animal Science & Pre-Vet. I will be studying the health, reproduction, and career fields of small & large animals and also livestock management. I plan on moving south and starting my own Veterinarian clinic for both small and large animals
My favorite high school memory was always messing around with the principals and having a great bond with them.
I want to give a big shoutout to Ms. Angstadt for always being there for kids when they needed someone and always putting a smile on my face. Also, another shoutout to our two best principals! They have made me see the brighter side of certain things and always pushed me to do harder even though I never wanted to. I wouldn't be where I am today without them and my family pushing me!!
Please join us in wearing your Brandywine Heights gear this Friday, February 2nd for Districtwide Spirit Day!
Our next senior we would like to highlight is Griffin Reppert. Griffin says: I have many future plans, but here are a few! I am attending Lebanon Valley College in the fall to major in Digital Communications and Creative Writing, with an Acting minor. I plan to go to Brown University for my Masters in Creative Writing, and I plan to publish my writing along the way. I also hope to act whenever I can, and get a job in the Digital Communications field.
My favorite high school memories are always the plays we put on in the Spring, and I loved our Evening of Comedy showcase last year!
I would like to give a shoutout to Shyanna and Ms. Walia for always guiding me and keeping me humble and allowing me to be myself.
Last week, four Brandywine Heights High School students participated in the Berks Senior County festival, which culminated in an outstanding concert on Saturday evening. Ellis Kline and Greta Kline participated in Sr. County Chorus, and Rachael Robinson and Madeline Roibu participated in Sr. County Band. Madeline Roibu was also in Sr. County Orchestra. Congratulations to these students for these achievements, and thank you for representing Brandywine with pride!
Mrs. Swartzentruber's Algebra 1 students are engaged in a Bungee Barbie activity where they learn how to use data to create a line of best fit and equations so that they can predict the accurate amount of bungee needed to keep the Barbie's safe! Great Job applying a real life aspect in connection with its mathematical concepts! #bulletProud
From now until graduation, we’d like to take the opportunity to highlight members of our senior class. We want to acknowledge the incredible things they have planned for post-graduation and reminisce on some of their favorite memories from their time at Brandywine Heights.
First up, we have Taylar Merkel!
In September I will be attending my dream school, the Delaware College of Art and Design. I will be studying photography. After receiving my Bachelor’s in Fine Arts, I plan on starting my own photography business and going to school to become a photography teacher.
My favorite high school memory would have to be last year’s prom so far.
I would like to give a special shout out to Mr. Lundy and Mr. Rabenold. Both of you have helped me follow my dreams. Without the both of you, I would not have the confidence to have been doing everything I have been these past four years, and I am extremely grateful for the both of you.
Congratulations to our recent #newHEIGHTS award winners, who were recognized at the December and January school board meetings. Thank you all for your continued dedication and support to our BHASD students!
