Good afternoon Jaguar Families,
It was another great week at Bradley High School. I would like to begin by thanking Rae Cunningham for her hard work putting together the Bradley High School Military Appreciation Night. The night was a success, and we look forward to more events like this as we continue to work to recognize our military families in Hilliard.
On Wednesday, February 12th, we will hold parent-teacher conferences from 2:45 pm – 7:00 pm. Please go to the Hilliard Bradley homepage and click on the signup link. To schedule a conference, please click on a teacher’s name. We ask that you sign up for only one time slot per teacher. Instructions for signup are available on the sign-up page if needed. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to call the main office at 614-921-7400.
Scheduling classes for the 2025-2026 school year is right around the corner. School counselors will visit English classes next week to help students begin the process of choosing classes for the upcoming school year. When scheduling classes, we encourage students to consider key factors such as graduation requirements, career aspirations, and appropriately challenging academic courses. Students can find scheduling information through the Hilliard City Schools Program of Studies as well as the 2025-2026 Course Scheduling module in their Class of 2026, 2027, or 2028 Canvas page. The Bradley High School scheduling window will run from February 3rd through February 19th. The following documents will be used by our school counseling team as they guide students through the scheduling process.

It’s opening night for Bradley Theater’s “Marian, or the True Tale of Robin Hood”!
This play by Adam Szymkowicz reimagines the classic Robin Hood legend with a surprising twist. Instead of the familiar male hero, it’s Maid Marian who leads the “Merry Men” in their fight against the corrupt Prince John. Marian, disguised as a man, steals from the wealthy and redistributes the riches to the impoverished people of Sherwood Forest.
The play delves into themes of gender roles, social justice, and the importance of self-discovery as Marian navigates her true identity while leading her band of rebels against oppression. This unique adaptation of the Robin Hood story is specifically written for teenage actors and offers a fresh perspective on this beloved legend.
Friday January 31 @ 7pm
Saturday February 1 @ 2pm and 7pm
