BRHS offers senior students the opportunity to take part in Work-Based Learning.

It's been a valuable experience for Madison, who is participating through Corewell Health. "WBL has been an amazing opportunity for me to grow my knowledge about my after high school plans. I've gained valuable connections, work experience, and skills to help me in my future. This program has provided insight and experiences I would have never gotten or achieved without it."

We’d love for our community to join us in thanking the Big Rapids Board of Education! 💙❤️

Last night, we had the opportunity to shower our Board with a few small gifts, and we hope they truly felt the appreciation behind them. Their time, dedication, and commitment to our students, staff, and community make a lasting impact every day.

Please help us celebrate and thank our Board for all they do for BRPS!
