Arby's claim to fame is that they have the meats. Well, here at BACC we have the skills to pay the bills and that is being proven right now, as a group of our students are in Peoria competing at the SkillsUSA Illinois Elite Competitions. We have multiple students and teams putting what they've learned here at BACC to the test and showing everyone who we are and what we know. We are very proud of each and every student who is competing and we wish them all well in their competitions this weekend! Special shout out to our teachers who are traveling with and supporting the students, as well. You are appreciated! #Passion #Partnership #Professionalism #Opportunity #BACC

We are so proud of you Josh and Devin and we hope that you continue shining bright like diamonds in the sky, congratulations!!! #Passion #Professionalism #BACC #ShineBrightLikeADiamond

It was all beauty, no beast, when our cosmetology students went to America's Beauty Show in Rosemont, IL. The show offered students a chance to see what new and innovative things are trending in the world of cosmetology. Between industry speakers, educational workshops, and various product and company exhibits BACC students had the opportunity to learn and grab some swag while at the show. #Opportunity #Professionalism #BACC #Cosmetology

Thoughtful, supportive, helpful, and caring are all words that come up when talking with BACC staff about our amazing Assistant Principal Mrs. Adams. From the surprise birthday gifts for staff to the never ending supply of Jolly Ranchers and mints on her desk for students (and staff), Mrs. Adams always makes sure that everyone around here knows they are safe, seen, and cared for. She can also be counted on for a good laugh, be it a joke in an awkward moment or poking fun at our dear Mr. Hansen. We are very grateful for everything you do Mrs. Adams and we truly appreciate the light, dedication, and care you bring to BACC every day. Thank you! You know what, for being so awesome, you should take the next two days off 😉😂. #MrsAdamsRocks #AssistantPrincipalWeek #Passion #Professionalism
