Dear Families and Students of BRHS:
With the exception of most 9th-grade students (who got their IDs at orientation) and select 12th-grade students (who got their IDs with their parking permits over the summer), all BRHS students will be receiving new physical ID cards on the first day of school, 9/4.
Please note that a physical ID still needs to be obtained and carried, even if a student chooses to use the phone app to access the doors - correspondence related to this went out earlier in the summer.
Old IDs will be collected and new IDs will be distributed on the first day of school. Students - please bring your old ID with you!
9th Grade - if you did not receive your ID at orientation, please drop by the library at any time to receive your ID and Chromebook.
10th Grade - You will receive your IDs during Driver's Education.
11th Grade - You will receive your IDs during Physical Education
12th Grade - You will receive your IDs during Physical Education.
Vo Tech Students - You will receive your IDs during your English Language Arts class.
Open Campus - Seniors who did not pick up their Open Campus label during the summer, should come to the 1000 building main office during unit lunch to pick up their label. Open Campus labels will be placed on the back of the student IDs. Open Campus will start on Thursday 9/5.
A valiant comeback fell short in a wild shootout during the football opener when Bridgewater-Raritan High School was defeated by Notre Dame High School, 40-38, on Friday evening, August 30, in Lawrence Township.
Bridgewater-Raritan was down by a score of 21-10 at the half but staged a furious rally and eventually attempted to gain the lead with 40 seconds to play in the fourth quarter with a 40-yard field goal attempt. But the field goal try was blocked to seal Notre Dame’s thrilling victory.
To Grade 9 Students and Families,
It was a pleasure meeting our first flock of BRHS freshmen today! For those who were unable to attend yesterday’s freshman orientation, please find the guidance counselors’ presentation at this link. Also, Student ID and Chromebook distribution will take place in the library of the 900 building on September 4, 2024–the first day of school.

An octopus stands guard at the main entrance of Bridgewater-Raritan High School.
“He is Leonard the Claytopus,” revealed the creator of this ceramic sculpture, Lauren Yang, who will be a junior at the high school in September.
Lauren worked on this nine-piece sculpture in teacher Angela Morin’s Ceramics 2 class at the high school.
The idea to show off Leonard next to the steps that lead to the front door of the high school came from both Adam Leaman, an Assistant Principal, and Scott Bowerbank, who works on the grounds crew at the high school.
