 Friday Focus:  BG Hosts Multicultural Fair

This week, our main foyer was transformed into a lively atmosphere celebrating the many cultures represented at Buffalo Grove High School. Students were able to learn about different cultures from their peers firsthand. Interactive displays including food, music, face painting and salsa dancing were among the highlights.


The Bison Impact: 

  • Congratulations to BG’s very own Mike Garofola on his induction into the Illinois Wrestling Coaches & Officials Association Hall of Fame. The induction took place on April 16th, and recognized Mike for his lifetime commitment of excellence in the field of high school sports journalism.  We are very proud of Mike for this tremendous achievement! 

  • Congratulations to junior Vuk Dejkovic for winning the World Championship with the USA Jr Coed Cheerleading Team! Vuk was selected to represent the United States on the National Junior Coed Cheerleading Team and competed at the World Championship this week in Orlando, Florida. He is one of only 34 kids selected for the USA National Team.
