BHS Happenings

At the Board of Education meeting last night, the Board of Education voted to amend the 2023-2024 school calendar due to the upcoming Presidential Primary. Due to the schools being used as voting locations, there will be no school for Bloomfield High School students on April 2nd. The last day of school will now be Friday, June 14th.

The graduation date has been set and graduation will be at Bloomfield High School at Phil Rubin Stadium on Tuesday, June 11th at 5:00 p.m. The rain date will be Wednesday, June 12th at the same time and location. Students will be given four tickets for infield seating and anyone who wishes to sit in the bleachers or stand outside the football field is welcome to attend. More details will be available closer to graduation.

Spring sports are officially beginning next week. We encourage all of our students to come out for one of our spring teams. BHS is currently offering Baseball, Softball, Girls Tennis, and Boys and Girls Outdoor Track as spring sports. Go Warhawks!
