In December 2023, the BHS Student Leadership class attended an Oakland Activities Association event where multiple schools came together to share ideas for student leadership projects and events. Out of that brainstorming event, the BHS Student Leadership members decided to host a Senior Citizens Prom.

On February 11, the BHS students hosted their second annual Senior Citizens Prom with Oxford Park Tower residents. Nadia Fobbs (committee chair) along with fellow students Lucy Sousanis, Willem Allen, Le'la Kyles and Ben Francis planned this year’s event and the entire class helped set up, attend and interact with the residents. This year, the Senior Citizens Prom included cookie decorating, Bingo, Valentine's making, snacks and refreshments.
