GIVING THANKS, GIVING BACK!
In the spirit of the season, our Student Council is raising money to purchase grocery store gift cards for our families in need. The gift cards are given to the families of our students to help buy all the fixings for a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. If you need support or want to donate to this program, contact us by November 1st.
DEPRESSION SCREENING
Junior parents, to help promote mental health and wellness with your teen, we're presenting a Break Free from Depression Review Lesson on Thursday, October 3rd, and conducting a Brief Screening for Adolescent Depression on Wednesday, October 9th.

MENTAL HEALTH EMERGENCIES

THE COMPASS IS HERE!

WE BELIEVE PASSION IS THE MAGIC INGREDIENT!
You’ll find it in our dedicated teachers, instructors, administrators, and support staff who share your commitment to your teen’s success. At the heart of this commitment is a dynamic relationship between our teachers and your teen, and a culture of learning that is transforming education in new and exciting ways.
Blackstone Valley Tech (BVT) is not your typical high school. From the vocational-technical shops to state-of-the-art laboratories and advanced placement courses, our school is home to teachers who creatively share their expertise by integrating classroom learning and real-world, hands-on projects. Understanding that every student learns differently, our teachers take the time to nurture your teen’s interests while teaching them to navigate obstacles, strategically embrace challenges, and celebrate achievements. Students, in turn, have a unique opportunity to explore multiple career paths, hone their skills, and discover their passion and purpose in life.
As a result of BVT's culture of respect and high expectations, your teen will graduate as a confident and empowered young adult — one who has found a voice, charted a course, and is ready to make a mark on the world. Come share the passion, and be part of the BVT family!

Part of what makes BVT so engaging is the variety of extracurriculars that they offer. I participate in sports, student council, and many other clubs that have enriched my high school experience and has allowed me to grow as a leader.Sosie Derkosrofian, Health Services, Class of 2025
