This school was a real eye opener after moving from an inner-city school mentality. It is has many of the features of a private school due to some of the very generous parent donations . After having two of my children graduate from BMHS, I have to say that I am glad they received an education in the Eagle County. The only complaint I have is. I never found a way to connect with other parents. I was not asked to volunteer and it was difficult for my teens find their niche with the other students. On the plus side, it has a stellar science department which not only taught my children the fundamentals of science, but instilled a passion in my youngest for science that I never thought existed! This includes the Social Sciences taught by Mr Phelan, who provided my teens with a journey of self discovery which none of us will soon forget. A math department that is becoming stronger and more stable everyday thanks to some great leadership and finally a foreign language department that is truly unique. I could go on forever but by now I think you all get my point. Great academic opportunities, not so great inclusion for new community members. ~kl

Overall I think VSSA is an amazing place to develop academically and athletically. They have supported me through all my athletic endeavors and most importantly, I have been developed academically and prepared for a college level education.
