Bruce Rosenblum is a partner with the law firm K&L Gates, representing mutual funds and their boards of directors.

Nancy, Bruce and Lisa bring strong community involvement and a passion for B-CC to our board and we look forward to their contributions!

With your help, we fund the following Signature Programs:

The B-CC High School Educational Foundation helps all our students succeed in high school and find a pathway to college and lifelong success. We depend on the generosity of the B-CC community – alumni, faculty, parents, community members, businesses, and municipalities – to fund our three signature programs:
Time for Academic Progress offers after-school academic support to students at all levels.
CollegeTracks helps B-CC students overcome the hurdles standing between them and college. A significant number of our students don’t know how to apply to college or get financial aid.
Summer Academy is a three-week summer program that eases the transition to high school for incoming 9th grade students who have struggled academically in middle school.
The Foundation's Grants Program also funds professional development to help B-CC teachers hone their skills, equipment and supplies to improve classroom instruction, and start-up expenses for a variety of innovative programs.
