Two billfold-size, color, head and shoulder graduation photos are needed for the yearbook and newspaper. They will not be returned to the student. These must be formal pictures in dress attire.

Homecoming 2007 will be October 14 - 19. The newly elected student council has already been making plans for the event. Royalty will be elected shortly after school starts in the fall.
We welcome the following teachers to BGHS for the 2007 - 2008 school year:
Team camp for grades 7 - 12 will be at BGHS south (gym) entrance Monday - Friday, July 16 - 20 and July 23 - 27, 7:30am - 9am. No fees.
It is not necessary to be at camp every day, but running is easier with friends. Whatever your present skill level, our goal is to help you improve. We will work around jobs, vacation, and other late-July commitments. Call Coach Kohlhaas at home if you have any questions: 295-5786.
We are always looking for photos for the BGHS website (garrigan.unlimitedweb.net). We try to get photos of all school activities, but we are not always able to be at every event. If you have photos to share, e-mail or send them to Mr. Burrow (burrowd@garrigan.pvt.k12.ia.us). We can't use every photo, but we appreciate all that are submitted.
