• An important reminder, even though you are a BGVA student, you can still participate at your local high school for their after school activities, such as sports, drama, clubs and other activities. Studies show that students engaged in extracurricular activities have better attendance and higher grades. Make sure you reach out to your local school or contact your BGVA advisor if you have any additional questions regarding these opportunities.
