Kindness Week at BCHS continues...
I really enjoy work-based learning because it gives me the opportunity to see if I like HVAC—which I do—and provides real-world, hands-on experience with different types of equipment. I also enjoy working in HVAC because I get a great mix of residential and commercial work. It's fun talking to customers, and I appreciate when the lead tech I work with every day corrects what I'm doing wrong and explains the equipment issues to the customer. I plan to continue working at Answer Heating and Cooling after high school to build my career in HVAC.

BCHS students recently visited Pine River Elementary to spend quality time with the 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders. It was an amazing day of mentorship and connection we hope to continue all year long. We love seeing our older students step up as positive role models for our youngest Lancers. #CommunityConnections, #MentorshipMatters #GoCreek!

10th graders at Bullock Creek High School spent the day at Dow Diamond for the Life x Design Summit! Our Lancer sophomore class came ready to learn, connect, and map out the next step in their bright futures. #CareerReady #LancerPride #FutureLeaders
BCHS juniors and seniors recently hit the road to CMU. They attended the college fair, toured the campus and wrapped up the day with an all-you-care-to-eat lunch. What a great day to be a Lancer!

For Brayden, work based learning is going great! - "I love working with my family and learning from my grandpa, especially doing oil changes."
The process is straightforward: lift the car, drain the old oil from the pan, remove and drain the filter, apply a bit of oil to the new filter's seal so it won't seize, and reinstall the pan bolt carefully without over-tightening. Next, lower the car, refill it with fresh oil, and run the engine briefly before checking the dipstick a few times to get an accurate reading. Finally, top off the windshield washer fluid and pull the car around for the customer. I enjoy working here because I get to spend time with my family, master important car care skills that can help me and others in the future, and even use what I learn to support my landscaping business.

Zack Simms and Brayden Suderman at Dow Diamond promoting the building trades program for the Life x Design Summit. Thank you gentlemen.
I like Work-Based Learning because I get to learn hands-on instead of just sitting in a classroom. In this program, I learn more every single day than I have in years of traditional school. My crew teaches me skills you can only gain from real experience on the job site.
In this picture, we are setting and finishing the last walls for a garage. It was raining and 40 degrees this morning, which proves this job builds mental and physical toughness—pushing you through even when conditions are tough. I really enjoy working alongside my crew and battling the elements together to build something quality that we can look back on with pride. - Jack

Human anatomy and physiology is learning about the various tissues in the body. Students researched a given tissue type and then created a clay model. The class did a “gallery walk" around the room, to review the various tissues and then vote on their favorite one. It was a fun way to review this topic!!!
BCHS Leadership students embraced the Halloween spirit while carving pumpkins. 🎃 The class bonding project will light the high school front walkway.
