Are you ready for flu season? If you haven’t had your flu shot yet, please call (269) 605-1277 and get it done at the Benton Harbor Student Health Center. The center is located behind the Benton Harbor High School.
The flu shot is the best way to prevent falling severely ill this season! They provide this service to all school-aged children!
We're creating a Master Facilities Plan for Benton Harbor Area Schools, and your voice matters! We need your feedback to identify needs and create a better learning environment for our students.

We were made aware of multiple physical altercations that took place at Benton Harbor High School. Police were notified immediately, and out of an abundance of safety, Benton Harbor High School was placed on a hard lockdown. Students were then carefully dismissed. There was never an active shooter situation at any of our schools.
Recent community events are impacting our school environment. To ensure the safety of our students and staff, we will be closing school district-wide tomorrow for students only. All staff should report to work at their normal time. We will use this time without students to thoroughly investigate the situation at the high school and other recent events in order to implement measures to prevent future disruptions caused by heightened tensions in the community.
Sincerely,
Dr. Kelvin Butts
Superintendent

Dear Parents and Guardians,
Benton Harbor Area Schools(BHAS) is committed to providing a safe and supportive learning environment for all of our students. We affirm that commitment by notifying parents of events that affect our school or community safety as we work in partnership to support the well-being of our students.
The Benton Harbor Area Schools administration was made aware of multiple physical altercations that took place at Benton Harbor High School. We immediately notified the Benton Harbor Department of Public Safety, and they are currently investigating the situation. Out of the abundance of safety, Benton Harbor High School was placed on a hard lockdown and students were carefully dismissed.
The safety and security of our students and staff remains our top priority. Based on the available information, there is no credible reason to believe there is an imminent danger to our schools. We will continue to work closely with law enforcement throughout this investigation to ensure the safety of our district.
School operations will continue as scheduled. If the situation changes, we will provide further updates. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we navigate the situation.
At BHAS, the safety of our students is our utmost priority. As the Superintendent of Benton Harbor Area Schools, I want to assure you that we take all precautions to keep our students safe and secure. Please contact me if you have additional concerns about this incident. Thank you for supporting our students and school.
Sincerely,
Dr. Kelvin Butts

We are incredibly grateful to State Rep. Joey Andrews for selecting our district to receive the NFL Foundation's donation of a new automated external defibrillator, known as an AED. This donation is a testament to the continued collaborative partnership between the district and our state to put our students’ safety at the forefront of our core values. #TigerPride
