The new BCHS drew students from the former Keystone School District, Van Horne School District, Newhall School District and Blairstown School District.[1] Beginning in 1967, BCHS absorbed students from the former Elberon Independent School District.[1] In a controversial 1991 decision, nearby Norway High School was merged into BCHS.[2]
