Buena Vista High School
Monika.: I starting attending Buena Vista High School my junior year. I was 1 1/2 years behind in my schooling and i honestly never thought that i would graduate. After going to BV and seeing that they gave us students "Packets" to help us keep up while still taking classes we needed i started to believe i might graduate. I am proud to say i obtained all the credits I needed and was able to walk the year i was suppose to graduate. if it wasnt for BV i would have never graduated high school. I am greatful for Buena Vista High School!
