Community Service All students should continue to submit community service information to Mrs. Brack in the Counseling Office. Class of 2020 Sophomores Oakland ACE – Students can earn both a high school diploma and up to 60 credit hours or an Associate’s Degree from Oakland Community College. The Oakland ACE (Accelerated College Experience) program serves motivated high school students enrolled in participating Oakland County school districts. Students apply for admission into Oakland ACE in the 10th grade and, if selected, begin the three-year program in grade 11. Oakland ACE is designed to serve students from families with little or no history of post-secondary education and students from low socio-economic groups. In order to motivate and support students taking on the rigors of both high school and college coursework, Oakland ACE students are required to attend a weekly College Success Seminar all three years of the program. Students also benefit from the monitoring and guidance of Oakland ACE staff, and professional counseling from both high school and college counselors. Students accepted into the Oakland ACE program agree to an additional year of high school (grade 13). During the first year (grade 11), students attend both their high school and Oakland Community College for the equivalent of a half-time schedule each. Students attend their high school for typically two hours during the second year (grade 12) and spend the third year (grade 13) completely on the OCC campus. For more information about the Oakland ACE program please contact your school counselor.

CMU will cover all meal expenses in the Residential Restaurant. Interested Sophomores and juniors should see Mrs. Brack in the Counseling Office to pick up a permission slip. There are limited spots available. The first 50 sophomore & junior students to return their permission slips to Mrs. Brack with $5 by March 10 will be able to attend. Counselors will be chaperoning students attending the trip. Buses will depart BHHS at 7 a.m. and return by 4 p.m. Students will need their own transportation home from BHHS as buses home will not be available. Students do not have to be solely interested in CMU; the admissions presentation will provide another point of reference for high school students beginning the college selection process.
