All four years of attending Belle Vernon Area High School, there is always something to remember each year. From football games, enjoyable band half time shows that got voted the best band in the Valley, school dances, and making forever friends. Everyone at BVA knows one another and is very friendly! Students and Faculty really welcome one another to make sure you don't feel like an outcast. Belle Vernon Area High School is the school for you if you are outgoing, friendly, have "leopard pride," and lastly if you have a passion for learning! Hail Mighty Leopards.
BVA has many extracurricular activities and course selections for students. Over the course of 4 years I was able to take a heavy course load and gain 12 college credits by the end of my senior year. Many of our teachers are very caring and have been willing to go above and beyond to create relationships and build the academic programs.
Our school district does not have a track; all track activities must take place at another high school, making it challenging for those students.
We have an exceptional musical theater department. Our high school musicals are always a sell-out of high quality! We have a great deal of board support for the arts and fantastic music teachers.

Belle Vernon area school district is a higher ranking school district in my area. Im in my sophomore year and I have had a good experience so far in my high school. Freshman year, before Covid-19, I was apart of stage crew and art club. They helped me be more outgoing and enjoy my experience a little more. This year I have been remote learning due to the pandemic. Although I have been remote learning, my grades haven't dropped and I still feel included in my classes. The people there diverse and unique in there own way, and most are there if you need them. My art teacher, Mr. Fecik, is a great example of that. He is a positive role model for me, and for many other students. He made my experiences in high school a lot better.
