Bureau Valley was proud to send six outstanding student-athletes to today’s IHSA Leadership Conference in Peoria! Nominated by their coaches, these students joined more than 600 leaders from across Illinois to connect, learn, and grow.

Computer Applications students spend the semester exploring a variety of Google Apps.

After mastering Google’s suite of applications, students will transition to learning how to navigate and use Microsoft Office programs effectively

Consumer Education students just wrapped up their tax unit. To apply what they learned, students used mock personal information to practice completing the W-4, W-2, and 1040 tax forms.
