College Visits
Juniors and Seniors have two college visits available to each school year. There is a form to complete prior to your visit for the absence to be appropriately marked. For college visitation forms, please see Mrs. Roper. To schedule a college visit, you may either call the college admissions office or go to the college website and schedule the visit online. Not all colleges have that option, but many do. If you need help scheduling a college visit, feel free to stop by the student services office and Dr. Martin will assist you.
Letter of Recommendation
Letters of recommendation are often required for scholarship applications, or sometimes even admittance to college. Many BCHS staff members will ask students to complete a recommendation request form in order to write them a letter. The form can be found here. Please make sure you request a letter at the minimum at least 10 days priors to needing it.
Dual Credit/Dual Enrollment
BCHS offers a wide variety of dual credit/dual enrollment college opportunities for our students that are juniors or seniors. Students have two avenues for earning college credit while in high school. The first, dual credit, allows the student to enroll in college courses during the high school day and earn both high school and college credit. The second, dual enrollment, allows the student to enroll in college courses outside of the school day and earn college credit. The courses BCHS offered through Dual Credit can be found by clicking here.
Rend Lake College CTE Program of Study
Rend Lake College has put together Programs of Study for a large portion of their CTE programs. This is a tool for students to see the classes they should take in high school and what classes would be in their future for their chosen major. This is a great resource for students if they know they are interested in one of these specific programs.
