BRVGS Senior Launches "Us, Now" Podcast

Ginny Helmandollar, a BRVGS senior at Louisa County High School, has launched her own podcasts on Spotify, for the purpose of exploring a range of current and pressing issues for high school students. 

Her first podcast, on "Student Burnout," features a discussion with high school students, teachers and counselors on the issue of student burnout and strategies to think about and deal with this very real issue.  BRVGS students and others can find some valuable insights and information in the discussion.

BRVGS Grad Has A Big Adventure In Store!

Blue Ridge Governor's School / Nelson County High School graduate Sinead Nardi-White (class of 2019) has an exciting year ahead of her this year.  Sinead made the decision to take a "gap year" and to give her time and energy to help others.  She will do that by working as a carpenter's apprentice and English teacher in Senegal, Africa, through a program called Global Citizen Year.  Sinead, who spent a semester as a United States Senate Page while in high school, began her adventure on August 25th and will be in Senegal for 8 months.  To read more about Sinead's trip, please click on https://www.newsadvance.com/nelson_county_times/news/nelson-grad-set-for-months-in-senegal/article_0f2106e0-ca20-5f2b-aad2-02ab5b30a03c.html  We at BRVGS are very proud of Sinead!  

We hope that everyone is having a great start to their 2019-20 school year.  Now that all our member schools are back in session, we would like to offer a Back To School Website by clicking here.  This will provide information about the upcoming school year, future courses BRVGS hopes to offer, introduce you to the administrative team at BRVGS, and much more.  We hope that this school year offers your student a challenge that inspires them to do great things!
