Annually, two students in the fine and performing arts from every high school across the State are recognized and honored with the Connecticut Association of Schools Arts Scholar Award. This year's recipients are Cecile Hazen (music) and Clare Barnett (art).

Opportunities to participate in regional and State choirs provide students with an opportunity to meet peers across Connecticut and perform more complex repertoire. Two BHS students participated in the Southern Region High School Festival, Matthew Lenox (mixed choir) and Louis Manzo (concert band). Additionally, students auditioned and participated in the UConn Honor Band including Cormac Fichtenholtz (trombone), Francesco Zweeres (tuba), and Jake Coveyduck (percussion).
