BHESA Always Welcomes Your Time and Support
BHESA has many committees you can be part of throughout the school year. You’ll find each committee listed below, along with the chairperson and volunteers. Although sign-ups usually take place at the start of the year during our Back-to-School events, new volunteers are always welcome—join whenever you’re ready!
