The Bradford community holds a worship service each year to honor our graduates and to pray for God’s blessing upon them as they leave us and go on to college. We welcome as our guest speaker Rev. Dr. Paul Buckley, Lead Pastor at King of Grace Church in Haverhill and Bradford parent. The Baccalaureate service includes performance by our High School Chorus and the presentation of our annual high school departmental awards.
Middle school students will be transported to the Fine Arts Center via a school bus leaving the middle school at 10:15. Following the Baccalaureate service an all-school luncheon will be held in the campus dining room. Middle school students may either bring a bagged cold lunch (no microwave available) or purchase lunch in the dining room (chicken nuggets, French fries, cookies, and beverage) for $5.00. Middle school students wishing to purchase lunch should submit their order ahead of time. For the order form, please click here. Middle school students will return to the middle school after lunch via a school bus. All are welcome!
