Battlefield hosts the Center for Information and Technology (one of two in Prince William County Public Schools), providing concentrated coursework for participating students in networking, computer systems, and the multidisciplinary use of advanced digital technology.
Battlefield's committed teachers regularly provide after-school enrichment and remediation. Formal groups ranging from professional organizations (such as DECA and FBLA) and honor societies (such as the National Honor Society and the music honor society, Tri-M) to impromptu teacher-student work sessions regularly provide support, scaffolding, and additional content for students.
From business groups to community service programs, Battlefield High School offers a rich tapestry of opportunities to get involved in something great. Bobcat Athletics provide a full range of competitive sporting activities; the fine arts programs afford outstanding music, art, and drama performance and participation experiences; and the Robotics program is a nationally competitive technology team that brings home top titles again and again.
Parent-Teacher Organizations (PTO), the Principal's Advisory Committee, and numerous other open doors provide community members with the opportunity to integrally support and promote learning in northwestern Prince William County.
The motto of Battlefield High School is "Success is a Choice," and by that credo BHS has been has been named a PWCS School of Excellence several times.
