Admiral Adventures in Kindergarten! ⚓
Ms. Huddy and Ms. Lindhart’s classes transformed into detectives! Armed with magnifying glasses and notebooks, they went on a building-wide hunt for elusive Sneaky Es.

While the detectives were busy on the ground, Mr. White’s class spent the day in outer space, including coding LEGO robots to navigate the lunar surface. Great work teams!

Surprise! A Well-Deserved Honor for Ann Bolin!
Mrs. Ann Bolin was surprised today with a school-wide assembly to celebrate her being named a WKU Distinguished Educator in Exceptional Education! Dr. Corinne Murphy, Dean of the WKU College of Education and Behavioral Sciences, presented the award.

From teaching Braille and fostering student independence to leading T. C. Cherry’s morning meetings and the school’s annual cereal drive, Mrs. Bolin is a true advocate and mentor. As her principal Mrs. Sheryl Anderson says, she is a leader for all children.

Congratulations, Mrs. Bolin! We are so proud to have you in BGISD! 💜🍒

Revolution Meets Robotics 💻
Fifth grade students across the district have learned from a history-themed STEAM challenge while learning about the Revolutionary War. Will they reenact history?

Instead of muskets and horses, the students were armed with LEGO robots and chromebooks. Each team was challenged to "enlist" components to modify their robots, preparing their "army" for battle. Then, students had to code their robots with movements to navigate their designated battlefields.

Bowling Green High School Medical Arts students performed live venipunctures today on faculty and staff volunteers. Certification as a phlebotomy technician requires a minimum of thirty venipunctures and ten capillary or finger sticks on live individuals. BGHS Medical Arts students will be eligible for the CPT exam in May and certification after graduation.
The future of healthcare is in good hands!

How many times have you said, “I wish they taught us this in school”? At BGHS, we’re making sure our students can say, “I’m glad they did!”

On Wednesday, April 22nd Bowling Green High School spent the day providing an awareness of essential skills through a series of workshops and sessions. Students rotated through blocks focused on financial literacy, home and auto care, health and wellness, and economic independence.

KMEA District 3 Performance Assessment Distinguished

From advanced courses and career pathways to the arts and student life, the Class of 2030 visited Bowling Green High School today for the My Options Expo. BGHS Student Ambassadors led groups through a 15-station rotation to explore the many different opportunities offered on campus.

The Expo included several hands-on activities around the building, including the Medical Arts Academy with phlebotomy, nursing, and EMT, as well as the HVAC and Industrial Maintenance Labs. Students also learned about paid internships with BGISD in areas such as Information Technology and Early Childhood Education.

Families of 8th grade students are invited to the BGHS Performing Arts Center tonight at 6:00 pm to meet teachers and learn more!

BGHS “Intro to Tech Ed” students spent time Friday at M&L Electrical, Inc. for a closer look at the industry. From learning about the Project Life Cycle and CAD software to sharpening professional skills with mock interviews, students were introduced to several topics to consider with their future career pathways. The day ended with friendly competitions in the M&L training area.

Thanks to M&L Electrical and Junior Achievement for the partnership and investment in our students.
