Leaders in the BGV District use the Servant as Leader model to serve the staff, students and families of Oreana, Grand View, and Bruneau. We expect our educational leaders to hold us, one another, and themselves accountable to high levels of student achievement. 

Please take time to thoroughly review our Administrative Applicant Handbook, to see if BGV would be a good fit for you. Our Administrative Applicant Handbook outlines the expectations we have of our leaders, and the tools we use to strive for greatness.

At Bruneau - Grand View, we search for leaders & colleagues who are Humble, Hungry and Smart (Lencioni, 2016). We commit to the long-term achievement of our district by focusing on our culture & climate, student engagement, and our student’s achievement.

We expect our leaders to use Greenleaf’s (1998) The Servant as Leader model to lead and guide us in a way that advances both our professional and personal growth.

We expect our leaders to serve as instructional coaches, able to work with teachers to improve teaching and student achievement in the classroom. Using the Servant as Leader model, instructional leaders work to ensure that teachers use the tools and skills at our disposal to ensure student learning.




About the Bruneau - Grand View School District
On April 8, 1957, Albert Black, a school board member, offered to provide the school district enough ground for the Bruneau Elementary School. The current elementary school in Bruneau was built on Albert Black’s donated land in 1958. The building consisted of four classrooms, a gymnasium, cafeteria, three restrooms, an office and teacher lounge/workroom and sick room. The elementary in Grand View was also built in 1958 and was very similar in design to the facility in Bruneau. The present school was built on the same ground the former elementary school was built on. There were seven classrooms, a gymnasium, cafeteria, library, and three restrooms, one of which was for adults only. In 1973 a bond was passed to build the present Rimrock Jr./Sr. High School on a 40-acre site midway between Grand View and Bruneau. Rimrock opened in 1976.

The Bruneau-Grand View Joint School District #365 now serves roughly 320 students from Elmore & Owhyee county. Though our student population is small, we’re one of the largest geographic districts in the state at 5,725 square miles. The parents of our students support our ranching & agricultural-based economy; many are working in the industry in some form. Our largest company-based employers include Simplot, Idaho Power, BLM and the school district. 

In the last 5 years, BGV has worked hard to re-define itself with a strong, deliberate focus on the culture and climate of our schools. This has led to a dedicated staff and significant gains in student achievement throughout our District, which we will continue to improve upon in the coming years.
