Congratulations to the Class of 2023!
Click on this link to watch our Graduation Commencement (Thank you Jason Foster and his crew!).
"We are here to celebrate all of your accomplishments, and to remind you that no matter what you have accomplished thus far in your life... this is just the beginning! As you leave us, I hope you feel prepared to seize opportunities that comes your way. Don't be afraid to take risks in pursuit of those dreams. Remember that courage is not the absence of fear, but being afraid of still moving forwards... Be kind, be good people, and work hard! If you do those things, good things will happen!"
~Mr. Gourde, BGHS Principal

2023 Summer Extended Learning Opportunities
Dear families of Battle Ground Public Schools,
Keep your students' math and language skills sharp this summer with free, at-home extended learning options available through Battle Ground Public Schools. The district is providing options for students at all grade levels, and most are self-guided and designed to adjust to individual learning levels.
These online resources will generally be available from June 20 - July 31. Students in grades 6-11 will keep their Chromebooks over the summer. Primary and fifth grade students needing a Chromebook to access these programs may check one out by contacting the Student Help Desk. Student Google accounts will remain active through the end of July to allow access to these extended learning opportunities.
More information, including registration, is available on the district website.
