The school serves students in grades 9-12, including approximately 100 Multilingual Learners representing 15 language groups, and is led by Principal Dr. JoAnne Smith with a leadership team comprising two Associate Principals (Dave Andrews for Operations & Athletics; Bob Dietz for Academics), three Assistant Principals organized by House, and an extensive counseling and student support staff. BHS is part of a district that also operates six elementary schools and Rotolo Middle School, creating a continuous K-12 feeder pipeline.

The school delivers a comprehensive academic program spanning college preparatory, honors, AP, and dual credit coursework across English, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, and World Languages, supplemented by dedicated Music (bands, choirs, orchestras, AP Music Theory, Digital Music Production), Drama/Theatre (productions documented from 2008 through 2026), Athletics (NCAA-eligible), Career & Technical Education (including Project Lead the Way engineering pathways), Special Education, and a Multilingual Learners Transitional Program of Instruction. Dual credit is delivered through Waubonsee Community College; vocational pathways through the Fox Valley Career Center; and articulated credit through College of DuPage and the Illinois Articulation Initiative.

As a public government entity, BHS does not charge tuition and generates no direct commercial revenue; funding flows to BPS District 101 from local property taxes, state education aid, and federal grants. Modest direct-to-family charges apply: a $250 Driver Education fee, AP exam fees, and lab fees ranging from $10 to $50. The school markets its programs through the BPS101/BHS website, weekly Wednesday newsletters, morning announcements, and on-campus college and career events.
