CLASS of 2026 - Senior Updates

Scholarships:
The Baldwinsville Community Scholarship Foundation application opened on February 1st and is due on March 31st. Click here to access the website and the application. This is an application we encourage ALL senior students to complete. BCSF board members will be at lunches on Thursday the 19th and Wednesday the 25th in order to help students with their applications.

In addition, The CRC has lists of scholarships that you can apply to. These are both national and local scholarships. The application closes March 27th.

Cap and Gown orders:
ORDER TODAY to ensure that your cap and gown is here by our Senior Day, June 12th.
Caps and gowns can be ordered at www.nygrad.com. From the homepage, type in Charles W Baker High School. Cap and Gown orders are delivered to the school and handed out before senior activities take place in June. There are many different packages on that site, but all that a graduate needs to have is a cap/gown/tassel. Please look for the package called Cap and Gown Unit e. Students may choose a red or a white gown.

Yard Signs:
Order your Senior 2026 yard sign here!
This order serves as a fund raiser for the Senior Class if you use the "fundraiser" link to purchase. The order will end with the second distribution period (April 19th)

Additional information:
We have put together a document for seniors and senior parents that covers frequently asked questions that we receive this time of year. The document will be updated as new information comes out. Click here to access the information.

Community Cafe - Rescheduled - Save the Date!

Our school community is committed to providing a supportive environment for students as they navigate the complexities of grief and personal loss. We know that many of our students are facing various forms of loss that may include:
  • The death of a loved one 
  • The transition of family separation or divorce
  • A serious personal or family illness
  • The frustration of an injury the disrupts college or career plans
Each of these experiences impacts a student's well-being and their journey through high school.
To help us better understand these challenges, Baker High School invites you to join us for a Community Café: Navigating Student Grief.

Student volunteers from Baker High School's Key Club will be available with crafts and coloring as a child care option for families who want to attend this event

We are honored to welcome guest presenters from Hope for Bereaved, who will share expert insights into how grief uniquely manifests in teenagers. This session is designed to equip families, caregivers, community members and staff with the language and tools needed to provide meaningful support during difficult times, and offer conversation about how our community can provide support.
  • When: April 8th at 6:00 PM
  • Where: Baker High School Cafeteria
Please join us for what we hope will be an informative and engaging evening for our entire community. We look forward to seeing you there.
