Friday Focus:
Last week Ms. Stenzel's Humanities classes unveiled "Deep Blues" in the OneGrove Gallery. For two weeks, Ms. Stenzel’s students worked hard on the art installation. This year their goal was to create an installation using plastic bags to portray a message about pollution in the ocean. All students and staff were invited to explore and discuss the installation. The installation was up through Tuesday, March 12.

BGHS in the News
Boys gymnastics: Season preview / Northwest
The Daily Herald, March 5, 2019
Outlook: Crandall will continue the Bison formula again this season, which has led Buffalo Grove to success in past seasons. This year it will again be all-arounder Ben Goldberg who will be surrounded with a deep and talented group of specialists. This group is a bit younger and less tested in the past, but Crandall still expects his team to be up to the challenge. Read Story
