Community Internship Program
The students in Blythewood High School's Community Internship Program will be showcasing their career internships and community service projects on Thursday, January 9 at 8:45 am in the small gym at BHS.  Students in the program have been working with mentors across the Midlands and getting a taste of just what this working life is all about.   The students have been exposed to careers in a huge variety of fields and will 'show off' the projects in which they've been a part.  Plan to come take a look at what some of our Blythewood students are learning.  There's more to school than what's in a book!
Here are just a few of the mentors that have participated this semester.

Do You Know This Man?

Impossible
You may as well try to change the course
Of yonder sun
To north and south,
As to try to subdue by criticism
This heart of verse,
Or close this mouth.
