BRHS Counselor, Leslie Hieronymus, visited the new Oakland Avenue campus of the BCA - Bloomington Career Academy, formerly known as BACC. The facility is incredible!
With his BCA classmates, second-year culinary student, Romero Fernandez, prepared and served a fantastic meal to the counselors from the seventeen BCA participating high schools in the area at the annual counselors fall meeting today.
Representatives from BCA will be presenting 2027 course options to all current sophomores and juniors next week, and all 10th graders will be attending the BCA career expo at the end of October.
BCA (or BACC, AVC) has prepared hundreds of Blue Ridge High School students over the years to be professionals in a variety of careers. We are lucky to be connected to this incredible program!
