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!
