BRVGS/WMHS Student Athletes Shine!

The month of April saw not one, but two Blue Ridge Virtual Governor's School seniors at William Monroe High School featured as CBS 19's Airflow Student Athlete of the Week.  Olivia Binggeli was featured the first week of April and Molly Earle was featured in the last week of April.  Both of these well-rounded students are successful students, leaders and athletes, and have both recently completed a demanding senior internship, research and community service project in BRVGS.  We are very proud of these young ladies, and of all of our students who excel in extracurricular activities!  To see Molly and Olivia's stories, click on:
