One of the central goals of the BMCHS Fine Arts Department is to develop community through collaboration. Opportunities abound, such as drama/music in stage productions and music/art in the annual Winter Art Show and Spring Fine Arts Day Festival—a school wide all-day and into-the-night celebration.
