 The Bison Impact:


Just keep swimming….. Just keep swimming  

The girls swim and dive team took 1st place this weekend at the MSL Conference Championship. This is the first time in program history that the Bison have won the conference and only the second time that a team from the MSL East Division won.

Trunk or Treat sponsored by Blue Crew was a great success!





Halloween Fun

Little Bison “treat” the Main Office with some “spooky” songs.



Crossing the street just got safer. A new crosswalk with enhanced safety features is now open at Arlington Heights Road just north of Strathmore Court

 at Buffalo Grove High School.

Use extra caution near this new crossing.


BGHS Sophomore Class Board needs your help!   The Sophomore class board is having a sock drive from Oct 31 - Nov 11!  Please donate only newly packaged socks. Drop off boxes are located at Door 1 (Main Entrance), Door 6 (Theater Entrance), and the BGHS Library. Have any questions? Contact kimberly.koldz@d214.org


Can you solve the mystery of “who done it”?

December 8, 9, & 10 at 7:00 in the  Buffalo Grove High School Theater
