Bethlehem High School Home

We love seeing the incredible interest in our Choir following this year’s Club Fair! 30 students showed up for the first meeting, so many that they had to split into groups to practice the different parts for our upcoming school Mass!

What a wonderful problem to have! 🙌🎵

We are so blessed to have Mrs. Melega leading these students. She is a fantastic teacher and choir sponsor who brings so much energy and enthusiasm to our music program.

We can’t wait to hear these voices come together at Mass! We love seeing our students get involved and our Bethlehem Choir continue to grow and thrive!

Mrs. Kremer’s Honors English students started class with a fun “Would You Rather?” entrance slip to get them thinking and discussing before jumping into a deeper look at plot development.

Using a plot map, students broke the story down from exposition and conflict through rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. Along the way, they were challenged to think beyond what happened and dig into why it mattered: What was the conflict? Why were relationships significant? What impact did different events have? What came from the conflict? And ultimately, what lesson or theme was revealed?

Mrs. Kremer was constantly on the move—checking in, asking questions, and guiding students as they made connections between characters, conflict, plot, and theme.

Such a great way to make literary analysis interactive and meaningful.

Mrs. Brooks’ students are taking their study of Romeo and Juliet beyond the pages of the play! Students explored different types of love represented in Act I—including romantic love, friendship, honor, and status—and demonstrated their understanding through a written analysis and a creative visual representation.

Using a 20-point rubric, students were assessed on four key areas: a strong thesis statement, relevant textual evidence with MLA citations, a well-developed extended response, and an illustration representing the theme.

We especially love the immediate feedback! Mrs. Brooks used sticky notes to score each component and provide specific comments and questions to help students strengthen their thinking and writing.

A great example of combining literature, critical thinking, creativity, and meaningful feedback in the classroom!
