Welcome to BRVGS Class of 2018!

BRVGS Senior Letters

A letter introducing rising BRVGS seniors of the class of 2015 to the BRVGS Senior Internship was inadvertently sent to parents and students of the BRVGS class of 2014.   Current BRVGS seniors and parents are asked to disregard the letter, and we apologize for any inconvenience to those students and parents.  

Some Application Acceptance Dates for 2014-15 Extended

Due to the many weather-related closings this winter, it may be necessary for some districts to extend their March 14 date for BRVGS acceptance notices.  Determinations will be made by each county based on particular circumstances. Parents should contact local school officials with any questions regarding dates.
