We will begin at 6 p.m. in our Lecture Hall. Hope to see you there!
We'd like to remind students and their families that this Wednesday, February 2, is an early release day for Brewer High School students only. This early release day does not affect the school day at the Brewer Community School or any of our sending schools.

Morning UTC students will attend UTC as usual; afternoon UTC students will not be required to attend classes at UTC as we will not be providing transportation. Afternoon UTC students are expected to attend their Blocks 1 & 2 classes here at BHS.
