B-CC High School Centennial Celebration

100 Years of Innovation, Community, and Academic Excellence

Future Ready B-CC

A century of excellence. A generation prepared for what comes next.

For 100 years, Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School has prepared students to meet the world with confidence, curiosity, and character. Now, as we celebrate a century of excellence, the B-CC Educational Foundation is looking ahead — investing in the next generation of students and strengthening the programs that help every Baron thrive.

Future Ready B-CC is the Foundation’s commitment to the next hundred years: connecting generations, preparing students for a rapidly changing world, and sustaining the high-impact programs that have defined our work for more than three decades.

The Baron Network

Every graduate. Every generation. Every student. Connected.

The Baron Network will connect B-CC students with alumni, community leaders, and local business partners through mentorship, career networking, and community engagement — opening doors and building connections for every student.

And it goes both ways: creating a living community that keeps alumni connected to B-CC and to generations of Barons.

Ready to Lead

Where Barons learn to navigate — and shape — what comes next.

This initiative will equip students with the critical thinking, creative problem-solving, and technological fluency they need to thrive in a rapidly changing world.

Working with school leaders, teachers, and our community, the Foundation will help B-CC develop a thoughtful approach to emerging technologies, including AI — preparing students to use these tools responsibly, and graduate ready for what comes next.

Commitment to Excellence

Sustaining the programs that make a difference.

Since 1995, the Foundation has invested in programs and supports that expand opportunity and drive student success across the entire school. That work has been guided by a simple belief that every student deserves access to the resources they need to thrive.

We are committed to strengthening the academic programs and supports that open doors, close opportunity gaps, and help every student thrive.
