School Welcome

Message from the Principal:

Dear Lava Bear Students/Parents/Guardians,

The Long Blue Line at Bend Senior High is a symbol of the rich traditions, culture, and unity that have been passed down through generations. It represents a continuation of values such as inclusion, support, and resilience, which have shaped the school community for over 100 years. The Long Blue Line is more than just a symbol—it embodies the spirit of family and pride that connects every student, teacher, and alum. It reminds us that we are all part of something bigger than ourselves, bound together by the shared experiences and values that have been nurtured throughout the school's history. It’s a thread that links the past, present, and future, creating a sense of pride and belonging that transcends the four years a student graces our halls.

 

For our community, the Long Blue Line is a reminder of the legacy of those who came before us and the responsibility to carry that legacy forward. It’s about honoring the hard work, dedication, and sacrifices that have shaped our school while continuing to build upon them for future generations. The pride of being a Lava Bear is not just about celebrating our past—it's about striving for excellence in everything we do, whether it's in sports, academics, or community involvement. The Long Blue Line connects us as a family, offering support, and a sense of belonging, no matter where life takes us. It’s a reminder that we are always part of a community that will welcome us back with open arms, as we continue to learn from each other and build new traditions along the way. WE ARE THE LONG BLUE LINE!

 

Go Bears!
