Welcome Back Bengals!
Brighton High School’s Registration Information
Dear Brighton High Students, Parents, and Guardians:
I would like to take this opportunity to let all of you know how excited I am for the 2023-2024 school year. I was raised in this community, I live in this community, and as I begin my tenure as the new principal of Brighton, I am reminded of the years I’ve spent here. I was a student when we had a school hymn and actually sang it at the beginning of assemblies (“Within these circled halls, there dwells the soul of Brighton High”). Later, I was an English teacher and Student Gov’t advisor while at the same time a parent to four children who graduated from Brighton. From there, I worked for five years as a assistant principal, moved to Corner Canyon last year, and now I am fortunate to return this year as Principal. I have a great love and respect for the history and traditions that have been established at Brighton High School as well as a deep commitment to the community it serves. I am humbled by the opportunity I’ve been given to take on the role of principal, but also so excited to continue the legacy of excellence for which Brighton is known.
Please know that our administrative team: Christian Cowart, Justin Pitcher, Jodi Roberts, April Sagala and I, are committed to serving you, our Brighton families, and helping your students navigate the high school. As we begin the year, our staff has adopted a new slogan: “Success for Every Student” and new mission statement: Brighton High School’s mission is to foster success for all students by providing opportunities to learn at high levels through an inclusive and supportive educational environment. We look forward to focusing on our purpose as educators and the opportunity we have to impact all students for good.
At this time, I would encourage you as BHS parents and guardians to get involved in your student’s high school experience. They need you now more than ever. Encourage your students to take their education seriously, to take courses that challenge them, and to get involved in school activities.
Please feel free to contact me or your assistant principals with any questions or concerns you have regarding your student’s education.
Our registration will be online again this year. Please read the following instructions. You should have received an email/Parent Square from the district with some of this information as well.
Sincerely,
Marielle Rawle, Principal

Pictures
All BHS students are required to obtain a school picture ID card to be used to enter into all activities and athletic events/venues, and to validate identification for specific testing and assessments (i.e., ACT). This picture will also be used for the student’s yearbook photo.
Make-Up Pictures will be taken on Wednesday, September 6th for those students who bypass the original picture days of August 15/16. Students without an ID card will have to pay for activities and games until a school ID has been issued.
Picture Retakes will be taken on Tuesday, October 17th for students who have taken original pictures, but would like a retake. Any student that has not taken pictures at this point can also have their picture taken this day so that they can receive an ID card.
Please print off the attached LifeTouch order form and bring it to picture day with payment.
Lockers
Only those students requesting a locker will be issued a locker. If a student would like to rent a locker they will need to select that option during the online registration process. The annual fee for a locker is $5. This amount will be assessed regardless of when the locker is requested during the school year. It is strongly advised that no items of great value be brought to school.
Chromebooks
- If you are a 9th grade student or a student new to Brighton and do not have a school assigned Chromebook, checkout will be during Picture Day on Wednesday, August 19th.
Parking Permits
Due to increased enrollment and limited parking capacity, parking permits will be sold to Seniors and Juniors ONLY in the Main Office on a first come-first served basis at the cost of $10 each beginning Monday, August 7th.

Freshmen will also learn about “ROAR” and “APP,” two programs that reinforce academic achievement and promote positive school behaviors. Lunch will be provided.
