Friday Focus - Solar Eclipse Mania
We are looking forward to a great educational experience as an entire school building this coming Monday. As a reminder, your child can only participate if they turn in their permission form, which was passed out thursday this week, and can be found HERE. We will be showing a fun and educational video put together by our physics department at the beginning of 7th period, and then releasing our students with their 7th period teacher out of the building for viewing at the peak time of the eclipse.
Celebrating Our Success!
Congratulations to our very own Bass Fishing State Champions, Tyler Lubbat and Dominic Domian!

Buffalo Grove's Tyler Lubbat, Dominic Domian catch bass fishing title
Chicago Tribune, June 20, 2017
On the morning of June 6, Buffalo Grove sophomore Dominic Domian was asked to step out of class and into the hallway. He wasn't in trouble. Quite the opposite, in fact. Buffalo Grove bass fishing coach Brian Foecking had a request: The Bison's top fisherman, junior Tyler Lubbat, needed a partner for the state meet June 14-15 at Carlyle Lake. Lubbat's regular partner, senior Michael Grabner, could not make the trip due to a previous commitment. The state finals had been postponed nearly a month by the Army Corps of Engineers because of heavy rains earlier in the spring. Read Story

Chicago Tribune, August 2, 2017
Buffalo Grove High School student Dasha Ignatova and other founding members have been surprised by the rapid success of the school's healthy lifestyle club that they helped start one year ago. Beginning in fall 2016, the Elevate club, a school chapter of the national Life of an Athlete program, started with eight founding members but by the spring, the group totaled 200 members, the students said.
