Each committee reports directly to the Board of Education. Committee members may include both Board Members and non-Board Members depending on the committee's purpose. Committee appointments are made at the organization meeting of the Board that is held following the consolidated election in April of odd-numbered years. Committee meetings are typically held once per month. The purpose of the Finance Committee is to review the district budget, financial projections, and other important financial documents and reports.

Join us for the 12th annual Business INCubator Pitch Night in the BHS auditorium at 6pm! Student groups from the Business INCubator program at BHS will pitch their companies to investors during a "Shark Tank"-style presentation. The five teams presenting at the 12th Annual Pitch Night include:
- Cha Ching: an automated AI-powered shopping assistant that helps you find the best alternative to products you are looking to purchase while shopping online. Instagram
- Frost Buster: a preventative spray designed to be applied to windshields and windows before freezing conditions, forming a protective barrier that stops ice from bonding to the glass. Website
- Pathfinder: an app that helps students and their families discover personalized scholarships tailored to their unique backgrounds, interests, and financial needs-making the search process faster, easier, and more effective. Website
- Holdmate: a MagSafe-compatible container that attaches to iPhones for easy, secure storage of retainers and clear aligners. Website
- Paintscapers: an all-in-one platform that connects homeowners with trusted painters, offering photo-based quotes, reliable scheduling, and easy, secure payment-all in one place. Website
Believed to be the first of its kind in the nation, the Business INCubator program was started at Barrington High School during the 2013-14 school year. Since the program's inception, it has grown nationally and internationally.

Barrington 220 offers students of all ages the opportunity to discover their creativity in fine arts. I have the wonderful opportunity to see students in the district from kindergarten to high school grow in all aspects of fine arts and see them shine. Susan BuerckholtzFine, Visual & Performing Arts Facilitator
My favorite parts of BHS are the classes and the community. There are endless opportunities to create and explore future career opportunities. In BHS-TV there are so many different ways to get involved in the school and the community. Kevin HigginsStudent
My favorite part of my job is watching the transition that occurs in our students from freshmen year to senior year. I am lucky enough to watch this growth and maturity while guiding them a bit along the way. It makes me proud to be in this profession and be a part of the Barrington process.Barbara BarreiroLife Skills Department Chair
Barrington 220 is a place where students establish the fundamentals to forge their own paths. We read, write, think, discuss, and create. As a current faculty member and proud graduate of Countryside, Prairie, and BHS, I look forward to working with students every day to create the next generation of thinkers, learners, and creators. There's nowhere else I'd rather teach. I'm proud to work in Barrington 220 and I'm glad you're here.Cary WaxlerSocial Studies Teacher
