The project is expected to begin in late spring 2026 and includes adding spaces for band, orchestra, choir, drama, science classrooms and labs, as well as a multipurpose room for technology and media. The additions are planned for construction from the existing school toward the bus loop, creating an additional hallway inside the building. These additions also allow classrooms to be repurposed in the current hallways.
The school’s front office, cafeteria, kitchen and food storage areas will be renovated and expanded. And finally, the media center and main hallways of the school will be renovated, with improvements to acoustics and the removal of lockers in the halls.
The goal is for the BGJHS project to be completed by the start of school in August 2028.

Thanks to the Southern Automotive Women’s Forum (SAWF) and General Motors for bringing the All Girls Auto Know program to sixth graders today!
Made possible by a GM Community Impact Grant, this event is all about sparking interest in STEM and Automotive careers. Bowling Green Junior High students (both girls and boys!) spent the morning doing hands-on projects, hearing from experts from GM Bowling Green Assembly and GM Spring Hill, and seeing Corvettes up close!
Students built a LEGO jeep then worked to code a rescue mission using map coordinates to help an animal herd that strayed away.
Exploring High-Demand Careers with the SCK LAUNCH Experience!
Bowling Green Junior High 8th Graders were among the 3,400 students who participated in this year’s SCK LAUNCH Experience, a hands-on career expo. THANK YOU to the 53 local businesses who shared interactive exhibits, giving students a first-hand look at careers in our region. And thanks to the Bowling Green Area Chamber of Commerce for their efforts to bring the education and business community together, ensuring our future graduates are successful no matter what career path they choose.
The HVAC Certification courses are new this year and made possible through a partnership with SKYCTC. Upon completion of the program, BGHS students will earn 20 hours of dual credit, as well as the opportunity for OSHA 10, OSHA 30, and EPA 608 Universal Certifications.
Farm to School Field Trips!
This week more than 2,000 elementary students from BGISD will visit Need More Acres Farm in Scottsville, Kentucky to learn more about where their food comes from. They’ll also bring home goodies from the farm and the Warren County Public Library.
Need More Acres, owned and operated by the Howell family, has been a partner with BGISD for several years, and provides many types of produce to the district throughout the school year and the Summer Meals Program.
The trip is made possible by the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Grant, which provides fruit and vegetable snacks to all five elementary schools.
