Students are preparing with some functional lifts for max testing soon in Strength classes.


It's been a fun end of the week for the Life Skills class! For SIP day, Thursday, they worked on hand eye coordination, communication, and team work by playing Nintendo Sports and Super Smash Brothers. On Friday, they each were given a budget of $5 to find something to cook/bake at Dollar Tree. Afterwards, they enjoyed lunch at Blue Margaritas.





Personal Fitness students are currently completing their 3-day splits as preparation for creating their Individualized Fitness Plans when we return from Spring Break. Throughout this unit, students have demonstrated noticeable progress—becoming stronger, more confident in their lifts, and more knowledgeable about proper safety techniques and movement patterns. 💪🏻

Today, we will recognize one of our newest staff members with our BVHS Staff Spotlight. We are glad to have Mr. Creekpaum with us this year!

Last week Officer Winner visited our Driver’s Ed. classes following our unit on alcohol, drugs, & impaired driving. Students used impairment goggles while attempting a mock field sobriety test, helping them better understand how substances affect coordination, balance, and reaction time. Later this semester, they’ll apply that learning in playing Mario Kart to demonstrate how impairment can impact driving ability with the use of the goggles.
