πŸŽ“ Senior Tux & Drape Portraits πŸ“Έ

Attention Senior Parents & Guardians,

We want to provide an update regarding access to your student’s senior tux and drape portraits.

We previously shared information explaining how to access these portraits, but we recently learned that Lifetouch has changed its access process for senior portraits.

In the coming weeks, physical photo proofs will be sent home with students as soon as they arrive from Lifetouch. Each proof will include a unique Portrait ID and Access Code, which you will use to view and order your student’s portraits online.

Once you receive the physical proof, follow these steps:

Go to mylifetouch.com and select β€œA Code From Lifetouch.”

Enter the Portrait ID from the proof (8-character combination of numbers and letters).

Enter the Access Code from the proof (4-character combination of letters and numbers).

Enter your student’s last name.

Enter your relationship to the student.

πŸ“… Missed Picture Day?
If your senior missed picture day and has not yet had their tux and drape portrait taken, a makeup picture day is scheduled for Thursday, November 5.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we navigate this updated process.

If you have questions about ordering portraits, please contact the Lifetouch National Customer Care Team at 1-800-736-4753 or use the online chat feature at mylifetouch.com. Customer Care is available Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–8:00 p.m.

Thank you,
BCHS Yearbook Staff

πŸ‘€ Be Seen At BC 🐾

Our Mission, Vision & Goals for 2026–2027

BCHS Students & Families,

At Bullitt Central, our mission, vision, and school goals all work together to ensure every student has the opportunity to thrive.

Our Mission:
To provide equitable and quality instructional experiences for the whole student.

Our Vision:
To prepare all students with the skills they need for the future.

This year’s theme, β€œBe Seen at BC,” brings that mission and vision to life. We want every student to know that they are seen, known, supported, challenged, and valued at Bullitt Central.

🎯 Our Three Big Goals

Improve Student Learning Through Collaboration & Data
We will collaborate, use student data, and strengthen instruction to ensure every student receives the support and opportunities they need to grow.

Strengthen Student Support Systems & School-Wide Expectations
Through ROAR and our school-wide support systems, we will create a safe, consistent, and supportive environment where students understand expectations and have the resources they need to succeed.

Build a Culture of Character, Connection & Student Ownership
Through Cougar Connect (CharacterStrong, SchoolLinks, Club Time), student leadership, and student voice, we will help students develop the character, relationships, confidence, and ownership they need for success in school and beyond.

πŸ‘€ What Does β€œBe Seen at BC” Mean?

When students are seen and supported as whole students, they are better positioned to learn, grow, and develop the skills they need for their future.

That is our commitment to every Cougar: to see the whole student, support the whole student, and prepare the whole student for what comes next.

Mr. Joe Pat Lee, Principal
Bullitt Central High School
