Welcome to Bravo, Class of 2029!

Are you feeling nervous and/or excited about starting high school?  Join our Summer Bridge Program to help you transition from middle school to high school:

      1.  Meet your future classmates and teachers to get a better sense of what Bravo high school is all about.

      2.  Earn 2.5 elective credits for your participation and completion of the Summer Bridge Program requirements.  Daily attendance,  project completion, and participation are requirements to earn credits. 

      3.  Students will work on a group project and presentation about an issue related to stress.  How does stress affect the brain and body?   

 

PLEASE NOTE: Transportation will not be provided during the summer.   

 

**Unfortunately, this year, space will be limited.  We only have space for 150 students.  We will close the registration link once we reach capacity, and we will email confirmations by early June.**
