Today’s Alumni Spotlight is on Bridget Good, BHS Class of 2016! 🎓✨
Bridget studied apparel merchandising at Iowa State University and interned for celebrity stylist Micaela Erlanger—styling stars like Lucy Hale!
But, Bridget missed the small-town charm of Iowa. After falling in love with downtown Ames, she opened her very own storefront: b.e.good, a boutique named after her high school nickname.
We’re so proud of this alumnus living her passion and inspiring others along the way! 💚

IMPORTANT MESSAGE: The Iowa DOT notified us of upcoming road construction that may affect travel between Boone and Ogden near R-18/L Ave. and US 30.
