Shadowing Day Program
Welcome to Barnstable High School, home of the Red Hawks—where students grow, achieve, and belong! We understand that choosing the right school is an important decision for families and students. That’s why we invite prospective students to experience a day at our school through Shadowing Days, held during March and April. This special opportunity is designed for students who are not currently enrolled in Barnstable Public Schools to see what makes our community a place where students thrive.
Purpose of Shadowing Days
The purpose of Shadowing Days is to give students and their families an up-close view of the unique experiences, programs, and opportunities that await them at Barnstable High School. By spending a full day with one of our student ambassadors, visiting classrooms, meeting teachers, and exploring extracurricular activities, students will see firsthand the wide range of academic and social experiences that make us proud to be Red Hawks. From advanced academics to award-winning arts and athletics, we provide something for every student to discover and enjoy.
