The Shadowing Program at Boulder High School is offered to allow incoming 9th graders to become familiar with BHS and help them in making a decision on which High School to attend. This program allows incoming students to accompany a current Boulder High student for a half day of class.

There are two ways to set up your shadowing experience — BHS assigned or Self Assigned:

• With BHS assigned you can select a discipline from the list below so we may assign you a student who has been selected by the faculty. Selecting a discipline is optional.
• Self assigned is for the incoming 9th grader who wants to shadow a friend at BHS. With this method you will need to set up the time and date (see dates below) with the BHS student and register with the Shadowing office. To get the best shadowing experience select the time and date based on the following:
• • If the BHS student has "A" lunch, for AM shadowing make sure they have classes 2, 3, and 4th period or in the PM 5, 6 and 7th period.
  • If the BHS student has "B" lunch you should only shadow in the AM and make sure they have classes 2, 3, and 4th period.
  • Make sure you remind the BHS student prior to the shadowing date. We recommend you tell both students your rules, e.g. stay on campus, no cutting classes, etc.
