Student Benefits
Activities offer an opportunity for all pupils to gain valuable experience which will contribute toward high moral standards and school citizenship. Students should consider it their honor to take part in and/or support the programs of BAVTS, the success of which will bring honor and recognition to the individual and our school. BAVTS offers co-curricular activities through our Career & Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs). Some organizations are supplemental to the career and technical programs.
In some instances, CTSOs carry membership fees and/or specific requirements for participation. Students should contact advisors for further information. It must be emphasized that students involved in extracurricular activities carry a great responsibility in representing BAVTS wherever they are. The manner in which they carry themselves determines, in good measure, the reputation of our programs and activities. Any member who fails to maintain the required record of scholastic achievement or whose conduct in unbecoming to the CTSO and its stated purposes, may be removed for cause from membership by the Administration.
