6th graders celebrate joining BGJHS with a Friday afternoon Pep Rally!
Sixth grade is when students from all five BGISD elementary schools come together as one Purple Family.
During the event, the BGJHS dance team performed and cheerleaders led Purple cheers. Plus, BGHS Senior Piper Boyd shared advice on getting involved and making the most of every opportunity offered. The first week full of school ended with games and lots of school spirit.
Once a Purple, Always a Purple! 💜
We are proud to announce that the Bowling Green Junior High 8th Grade Band has been selected to perform at the 2027 Kentucky Music Educators Association (KMEA) Conference in February!
Selection to perform at the KMEA Conference is one of the highest state honors a school music program can achieve. This accomplishment reflects the talent, discipline, and dedication of our student musicians, and the support of our directors, families, and community.
Congratulations Purples!
