We are incredibly proud to celebrate three BCHS students who represented Grasslands and BCHS at Nationals and earned a place on the podium!🥉
BCHS had students compete in two events, and both events received bronze medals:
Joseph Neufeld earned Bronze in 3D Game Art, a post-secondary event.
Kade Hamre and Marek Fournier earned Bronze in Mobile Robotics.

Bassano School’s Grade 8 students recently had the chance to explore the skilled trades at the Southern Alberta Collegiate Institute at Lethbridge Polytechnic.
Students started the day with a hands-on look at the electrical trades, learning more about the training, skills, and day-to-day work involved in the field. They also toured other trades programs, including construction, welding, culinary, and more.
Experiences like this help students see what is possible beyond high school and better understand the many different pathways available to them.
A big thank you to Ms. Bertschy, Ms. Racz, the School of Apprenticeship and Continuing Education, and Cam Bernhard, Grasslands Public Schools’ Career Pathways Teacher, for helping create this meaningful opportunity for students.
