At B. C. Graham, "SUCCESS is the only option". Our mission is to create an environment where every child is successful. Families and community members are vital to our school’s success. We encourage everyone to register as a volunteer, join our School Advisory Council, and become active PTA members.

We love our business partners and thank Idlewild Baptist Church, Radiant Church, the Indian Cultural Society, and members of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority for their continued support.

Music Ensembles

At B.C. Graham, students can participate in after school music ensembles! Our students in grades 1-5 have the opportunity to explore their vocal talents through our Roadrunner Chorus and participate in musical theatre. Students in grades 3-5 can participate in our Roadrunner Orff Ensemble that includes mallet percussion, drums, and movement. These programs encourage creativity, build confidence, and give students a chance to shine both on and off the stage. Whether they’re singing in harmony, keeping the beat, or performing in a schoolwide production, there’s something for every aspiring performer here!
