Marauders of the Week

Each week, members of the Belmont High School staff nominate seniors to be featured on our website, live feed on the Belmont School app, and for display on the school monitors. The students earn this spotlight for outstanding accomplishments ranging from citizenship to extracurricular activities to scholastics. We are excited for this opportunity to highlight a broad group of our amazing students at BHS!
