Dear High School Families,
The BVCS Difference is alive in our High School community, where students are stepping into leadership, service, and spiritual growth in powerful ways. We’ve seen athletes play with unity and integrity—earning praise from coaches and referees for the way they represent Christ in competition. Beyond the field, students are investing in one another through mentorship, prayer, and genuine friendship—like the senior who took time to meet with a freshman over lunch to encourage him in his faith. Even in busy seasons, our staff and students continue to walk alongside one another with care and purpose. BVCS isn’t just preparing students for college—it’s preparing them to impact the world for Christ.
In His service,
Cindy Alavezos
High School Principal
