BGHS has helped me get over my addiction to drugs so this school is awesome!! I moved here from a Florida school and I have never been so happy. I love my teachers and the students are cool too. Thanks Lions. Go blue and white, go!

Excellent as far as I'm concerned. They need to add a drama class to daily classes as an elective, instead of after school activity though.
