Welcome to Beloit Memorial High School
-
Beloit Memorial High School is a four-year comprehensive high school for grades 9-12. Our average class size is 28 students, with an enrollment of 1,500 students and 120 full-time certified staff. We are proud to be the only District in Rock County offering a Career Academy program since the start of the 2018-2019 school year. This program is one of the many advantages of attending Beloit Memorial High School.
A College and Career Academy is a personalized small learning community within Beloit Memorial High School, involving a cohort of students, an academy principal, and a team of committed teachers and support staff.
Academies provide real-world experiences with local businesses and professionals, linking schoolwork and the workplace. Our students are career, college, and community ready upon graduation.
All freshmen are part of a Freshman Academy, where they begin exploring Career Academies through entry-level career and technical education courses and exposure to Beloit Memorial High School Career Academies. Mid-way through freshman year, students are asked to select a career pathway to explore during their sophomore through senior years and become part of an Academy. These academies are BACH (Business, Art, Communication, and Hospitality), HHES (Health, Human, and Educational Services), and PACMES (Public Service, Automotive, Construction, Manufacturing, Engineering, and Science).
