Bearcat Bridge is a program that helps prepare graduating seniors for the workforce that do not plan on attending college.  This is a new program endorsed by the Bristol Chamber of Commerce.  Participating students will receive a list of Work Ethic Diploma Standards which currently includes 11 achievement categories. Each category has one, two, or three subcategories that are assigned a point value.  Students who sign up for the Work Ethic Diploma must complete enough of the goals set out in the achievement categories to score 20 points in order to receive the diploma seal.  Local businesses have partnered with Virginia High School/Bearcat Bridge Program, to give graduating seniors that have completed this program priority over other applicants for employment opportunities.
