Members of the Vet School’s Student National Association of Black Veterinarians joined Ms Eyre’s AgScience class to promote the veterinary science profession! SNABV’s mission is to provide support and cultivate an inclusive community for black veterinarians. Our BMS students asked so many great questions and gained a deeper understanding of all that veterinary medicine involves.

Sports Physicals are available at LewisGale Montgomery on Saturday, April 11, 2026. Registration is required. Please call the school at 540-951-5800 to register.

New MCPS Superintendent Dr Kelly Guempel visited BMS as part of his Superintendent's Listening Tour! Welcome, Dr Guempel; we're excited to work with you!

XiXi earned 3rd place, and our club’s Community Service Showcase earned 2nd place, advancing to Nationals.

In honor of School Resource Officer Appreciation Day, we proudly recognize and thank our dedicated School Resource Officer, Officer Ben Jones, for the incredible work he does every single day in our school.

Officer Jones is so much more than a police officer — he is a mentor, role model, educator, and trusted member of our school community. On a daily basis, he builds positive relationships with students and staff, promotes safety, and helps create an environment where learning can thrive.

From daily interactions to being a reassuring presence in the hallways, our SRO goes above and beyond to support and protect our youth. Thank you, Officer Jones!

Congratulations to Mr. Wayne Griffin, our Support Staff Person of the Year! Mr. Griffin is our Lead Custodian who supports BMS staff and students by ensuring a clean and safe learning environment!
