Since 1918 each senior class at Box Elder High has had the opportunity to present a gift in remembrance of the class and something beneficial to improve the school. Funding to provide the gifts was made possible by class fees and cash prizes won by the class during their four years. The Beehive monument contributed by the class of 1933 has been cherished through the years. The practice was discontinued after 2001.
Class parents are assigned to each class to represent the students and to assist in preparing (and participating in) various projects during the class’s time at the school.
