Prioritizing Campus Safety with Rank Security
At Big Valley Christian School, the safety of our students, staff, and families remains one of our highest priorities. Creating an environment where students can learn, grow, an thrive requires both excellence in education and intentional care for their security.
That’s why we are grateful for our partnership with Rank Security, a professional security company that provides trained officers to support our campus. Their presence offers more than just peace of mind—it ensures that BVCS is equipped with highly qualified professionals who understand both proactive and responsive safety practices.
Why Rank Matters:
Professional Expertise – Rank officers are trained to recognize potential risks and address them with professionalism and discretion.
Visible Protection – Their daily presence reassures students, staff, and parents that safety is never an afterthought.
Collaborative Partnership – Rank works closely with BVCS leadership to align with our protocols, making sure safety is embedded in every part of campus life.
While education is the heartbeat of our school, safety is the foundation. By partnering with Rank and welcoming their officers onto our campus, we strengthen our ability to nurture and equip students in a secure, Christ-centered environment.
Although we've had the luxury of having one officer each year, Rank cannot guarantee one officer. We work closely with Rank and each officer that comes to the BVCS campus to ensure communication and consistency. Juvi, our security officer for most of last year, is no longer patrolling for Rank, and we will miss her--yet we are thankful for each officer that helps protect the BVCS campus.
At BVCS, we believe students learn best when they feel safe—and through this partnership, we are taking intentional steps to safeguard their future.
