Bellerose Composite High School
Bellerose Composite High School is a relatively new high school located in northwest St. Albert, Alberta, Canada.
The school mascot is "Rosie the Bulldog" and students are referred to as "Bellerose Bulldogs". Bellerose Composite High School has an enrollment of approximately 1,000 students in grades 10-12 with close to 100 staff. The school was built in 1988, and an extension was added onto the back of the school in the early 2000s. The school is situated in the neighborhood of Deer Ridge and is close to surrounding Lacombe Park and North Ridge. Bellerose is home to several different programs catering to students needs, ranging from International Baccalaureate (IB) to Sports Academy for students that participate in higher level sports.
==Bike-A-Thon==
Bellerose has become widely known for its annual 48 hour Bike-A-Thon to raise money for cancer research. Students cycle in teams of 10-12 for 48 hours non-stop to raise cancer awareness. Originally, the Bike-A-Thon was a 60-hour event, but was shortened to the 48 hour version because of occurrences of over-exertion among the students involved. In 2006, Bellerose was one of the largest non-corporation contributors to the Cross Cancer Institute raising approximately $57,000 for cancer research or about $47.50 per student. During the Bike-A-thon, many "Bulldogs" shave their heads for cancer in an effort to raise even more money for the cause. In 2010, the students of Bellerose raised over $107,000.00 for cancer research, which made the Canadian Cancer Society re-write their record books to make them to second largest check ever to be given to the Society by a school. The 2011 edition of the Bellerose Bike-A-Thon was an even greater success. Over 600 students, nearly two-thirds of the school population, participated and raised in excess of $135,000. This is equivalent to approximately $225 being raised by each individual that participated in the Bike-A-Thon. The majority of the funds in 2011 went to the Alberta Cancer Foundation, with the funds from the annual head shave going towards the Kids With Cancer Society. In 2012, Bellerose raised over $165,000 with 762 students participating. $2000 of this amount was raised in school by a head shave during the bike-a-thon. Bike-a-thon 10, dubbed the 'Decade of Dedication', raised over $260,000 by its end on march 8 2013.
To date, the total amount of money that Bellerose students have raised in the ten editions of the Bike-A-Thon is over $900,000. This is one of the most successful fundraisers by any high school in Canada.
