Passion in Practice
Govs students are encouraged to pursue their passions, and it's terrific to see how our alumni pursue their dreams beyond Byfield. Every month, our Passion in Practice series showcases Govs alumni who have achieved success by following their passions—from the sciences to the entertainment industry to entrepreneurship and much more. We hope you will join us to expand your horizons and perhaps spark a new passion of your own!

Check back soon for more events later this spring.
