BHS Happenings

We wish all of our BHS families a relaxing and joyous Thanksgiving Recess! This is just a reminder that there is no school next week Wednesday, November 26th through Friday, November 28th.

Tonight BHS will host our Quarter 1 Honor Roll Ceremony at 6:00 p.m. in the BHS Auditorium, where we will honor all of our students that made Honors or High Honors for Quarter 1. We are proud to announce that 256 students made Honor Roll this Quarter, 52% of the BHS student body! We encourage all of our honor roll students and their families to attend the celebration tonight. Pizza will be served following the ceremony.

We hope that everyone will come out to Windsor High School this Saturday afternoon at 1:00 p.m. to celebrate our Warhawks as they take on their rivals the Windsor Warriors. Tickets for the game can be purchased on Go Fan. The link can be found below. Make sure you get your ticket, before they sell out! Students will need to bring a copy of their student ID to get into the game, along with purchasing a ticket. No exceptions! We look forward to seeing everyone there to cheer on our Warhawks!

On November 5th, BHS' Guidance Department hosted a Trades Panel for all students interested in pursuing a trade. Thank you to members of the Local 40 - Sheet Metal, Local 777 - Plumbing, and Local 35 - Electrician, who presented as part of the panel. This was a great event for our students who were able to hear first hand; the benefits of pursuing a trade, the process of going into a trade, and the daily life of someone who works in a trade.

On Monday, October 27th, the School to Career Office hosted a Career Cluster Workshop for Bloomfield High School. Led by Eastern Connecticut State University professors Clifford Marrett and Ashon Avent, scholars dove into the 16 national career clusters, uncovering real career pathways aligned to their passions and strengths. These experiences help students identify who they are, what they love, and how their talents can shape their futures.

Bloomfield High School proudly celebrated four outstanding student-athletes during its annual Student-Athlete Signing Day Ceremony on November 12, 2025. Students, families, faculty, and staff gathered to honor the dedication and achievements of these seniors as they officially signed their commitments to continue their athletic and academic careers at the Division I collegiate level on full ride scholarships.

Director of Athletics, Allison Borawski opened the event by welcoming the audience and expressing her pride in the accomplishments of the student-athletes, noting that the day recognized “not only incredible athletic accomplishments, but also the hard work, dedication, and perseverance that have brought our student-athletes to this moment.”

The following students were recognized for earning full athletic scholarships:

• D’Asia Duncan – Track & Field, Texas A&M University

• Vanessa Agyemang – Track & Field, West Virginia University

• Jahniyah Barclay – Track & Field, Morgan State University

• Payton Sirdine – Volleyball, University of Alabama at Birmingham

These achievements represent years of commitment to excellence—balancing early morning workouts, long practices, and strong academic performance. Principal White highlighted that their success “reflects the unwavering support of families, coaches, and teammates,” and emphasized the pride the entire Bloomfield community feels in their accomplishments.

Coach Anne Burrows introduced her three track and field signees, sharing reflections on their growth, leadership, and athletic success. Coach Colleen Harrison then introduced Payton Sirdine, marking a historic moment for Bloomfield High School as she became the school’s first-ever Division I volleyball signee.

The ceremony served as both a celebration of achievement and a recognition of the teamwork, discipline, and perseverance that define Bloomfield’s student-athletes.

Congratulations to D’Asia, Vanessa, Jahniyah, and Payton on this outstanding accomplishment and the exciting journey ahead.
