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.

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!
It’s quiet in the American Sign Language Enrichment class at BGJHS, but the communication never stops! 🤟 Students are working to learn this new language as Ms. Lee Flener teaches them to sign.
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.
