Here's the latest Staff Spotlight. Thank you for all your years of service to BV and our students, Mr. Wolever!
A huge congratulations goes out to the FFA Ag Sales team who has qualified for the State Contest! They will compete on November 8th in Bloomington to continue demonstrating their selling skills and knowledge through the “selling” of greenhouses. Team members include Katrina Wahl, Zac Wiggim, Lucas Meier, and Riggens Shafer. We can't wait to see how they do!
We’re proud of Jennah Menerey for competing in the District 1 AgEd Career Development Event on Wednesday! In this contest, students step into the role of an agriculture teacher — preparing and delivering a lesson, developing classroom plans, and demonstrating their passion for agricultural education.
Jennah did an outstanding job representing BV FFA, and we can’t wait to see her continue to grow in this event next year as she works toward becoming a future ag teacher!

Leadership students started off their week by looking into some big goals from around the world. They researched a specific United Nations developmental goal and led discussions on their plans for generating progress in the places that need it most.
The first 9 weeks are officially in the books, and we couldn't be more proud of our BVHS students - especially to those who earned a place on Honor Roll and High Honor Roll! We are so proud of each of our students here and their hard work, dedication, and their commitment to excellence. Keep up the great work - we can't wait to see what all you accomplish this year!⚡️
