They have many different interesting
    clubs and sports like Drama Club, Robotics Club, Anime Club and much more.
    The teachers are exceptional, it is truly what makes B-CC. Most are very educated on what they are teaching and care about the students. A new wing and field were recently added to the school and it is extremely spacious. There are new places for students to eat, plus they can buy food around the city of Bethesda so you would never get bored. Though B-CC lacks diversity. There are great resources but the divide is definetly prevelent. B-CC is a challenging and competitive school that has a great name for being a top school because of its academics. Though many students are not the most stable because of its competitive state.
