Basic School Statistics
Though we try as hard as we can to present a realistic setting there are always a few little questions people tend to have to try and make a mental picture. How many students are there that AREN'T PCs? How does this school rank with other schools in the area in sports? In academics? How full are our classrooms? Because we believe the more you know the easier it is to roleplay please use this page as a resource for basic school information.

Daily Schedule
BHPS works from a modified block schedule. On Mondays and Wednesdays students attend their A block; typically English/Math/Elective and on Tuesdays and Thursdays students attend their B block; typically History/Science/Elective; Fridays see a mixed block. Lunch is divided into two sections with one group in the gym and then in the cafeteria before switching with the other group in the library so they can have gym and cafeteria time.
There is a non-mandatory breakfast from 5:30 to 7:00 am offered by the school that many students attend.

Competitive Sports
Due to a wonderful alumni association, BHPS has funding to participate in a wide-variety of competitive sports. Athletics are deemed an equally important part of the school curriculum and many students participate in at least one or two sports over the course of the year. While many of the teams have only started up again recently, the Blackston Saints are looking to try and make their name through their division as being another contender. Due to its small size it only participates in a few sports.
