| The BGM School District encompasses approximately 141 square miles within the rural communities of Brooklyn, Guernsey and Malcom. Enrollment is approximately 675 students, 52 teachers, an activity director and 29 support staff. BGM Community Schools is a progressive district willing to make significant investments. The high school completed a $1 million rehabilitation and modernization in 2004. That came shortly after the construction of a new $5.8 million elementary school in 2002. The new elementary school contains 28 classrooms, a media center, music and art rooms, two computer labs, a long-distance-learning classroom, a gymnasium and a large multi-purpose area. A non-profit Citizen Scholarship Foundation (CSF) gives each graduate a chance for a higher education. The foundation offers scholarships to graduating seniors, as well as loans to older BGM graduates and mini-grants to district teachers who try new ideas. |
