Looking Back: Bloom High School Students of the Month!

Every school year, Bloom High School partners with the Chicago Heights Rotary Club, who honors standout sophomores through its Student of the Month program. This year's honorees were high achievers in academics, athletics, school clubs, NJROTC and more. The school is now recognizing the honorees from throughout the 2017-2018 school year.

"We are thrilled to see the Chicago Heights Rotary Club support the district and honor these outstanding and gifted students every month," said Bloom Township High School District 206 Superintendent Lenell Navarre. "Hard work and determination in our youth should never go unrecognized, and it is deeply valuable to us to have such an important community organization encouraging our students."
