Did You Know? High school librarians are responsible for teaching library curriculum to every student, every year. We are the only ones with that responsibility. The BVN librarians have 4 masters degrees between them and span subjects from Math, Design, Spanish, and English.

"It's a lot of vocational skills. It's a lot of communication, obviously, some math thrown in there. Operational job skills using the point of sale system." — Anna Porter, @MustangsBvn teacher 🍨💙💫 Through a partnership with The Golden Scoop, students at Blue Valley North are gaining valuable real-world experience while developing essential skills! These hands-on learning opportunities empower students to build confidence and prepare for their futures. #CultivatingBV #ChampionsOfLearning
