Friday Focus - Grand Opening of One Grove Gallery
Next Friday, we celebrate the grand opening of One Grove Gallery, our district's first dedicated Art Gallery in a high school building, located at Buffalo Grove!  One Grove Gallery is located in our theater lobby.  This Friday's grand opening will feature work from our own BG Alumni artists, as we celebrate homecoming.  Please take this opportunity next Friday after school to come by the Gallery, view the artwork, meet the artists, and enjoy music provided by the BGHS Orchestra!
