BHS Happenings

We are now a week into the new school year and it is great to see all of our students again! Next week on Wednesday, September 9th, BHS will be hosting its annual Open House and welcoming all of our parents and guardians to BHS to meet their child's teachers for this school year. This is also a great opportunity to learn more about classes and expectations as well as the many programs offered to your students throughout the school year. Open House will begin at 6:00 p.m. in the BHS auditorium and we hope to see all of our BHS community in attendance.

We also encourage all of our parents/guardians to check out the Bloomfield High School website. This is your best resource for everything you need in regards to BHS. Parents can check out the student handbook, the program of studies, the athletics schedule, the dress code policy, the most recent news on what is going on at BHS, and more. The weekly newsletter will also be posted here. We look forward to another great year at BHS!
