Bloomfield High School has over 80 different clubs and activities for students to join. Each year there is a Club Fair hosted in the Main Gym for students to see all clubs we have available. Below are just some of the options that we have!
ACADEMIC TEAMS
Students who enjoy academics and wish to participate in interscholastic competition are invited to join the various teams and clubs that meet regularly at Bloomfield High School. Students interested in the sciences can look toward our Chemistry, Biology, or Physics Teams for great intellectual stimulation. Those with a proclivity toward mathematics might enjoy our Math Team or the ESPORTS League which competes in our ESPORTS Center. If Social Science is the area of interest, BHS offers our own chapter of Academic Bowl and Mock Trial. Students, who have a developed general knowledge base, may wish to join our Academic Team or Academic Decathlon, both in which compete against other high schools throughout the state.
CHEERLEADER/BAND FRONT/BENGALETTES
Cheerleaders promote school spirit and enthusiasm by leading cheers at pep rallies and athletic contests. Members of the Band Front (flag wavers, twirlers, color guard, Bengal banners, and the Bengal Tiger) perform at varsity football games and parades. In addition, they perform with the marching band throughout the school year at various games and events. Our newest Lady Bengalettes take dance to the next level with their competitive nature and entertainment!
MUSIC
Bloomfield High School has long been noted for its outstanding music programs. Throughout the state and nation, Bloomfield High School students can be seen and heard in performance. Our Marching Band is a tradition and the highlight of half-time activities at football games both at home and away. Requests for our select group of singers, the Madrigals, are too numerous to fill. Our Orchestra continuously produces outstanding performers who receive both regional and national acclaim. The Musician’s Club offers an opportunity for students to perform at monthly meetings. An active parents’ organization has helped finance worthwhile performance excursions to other states and Canada.
NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY
National Honor Society membership is extended to juniors who achieve the high standards of the society. Members are required to maintain a 3.7 GPA (on the 4.0 scale) and demonstrate the ideals of character, leadership, and service as stipulated by the National Charter. Prospective members are invited to join in the spring. Students may not apply. Students will not be eligible if they have a final grade equivalent of “F” or “F+” in any course during their freshman or sophomore year.
The selection process commences with the generation of a list of juniors who have met the grade requirements. The GPA is based on grades achieved from grades nine and ten. Additionally, students must demonstrate excellence in leadership and character as well as participation in community organizations and/or projects.
A committee comprised of teachers, counselors, and supervisors will decide on admission to the organization. The decision is final.
OCCUPATIONAL/VOCATIONAL STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS
For those who wish to pursue specific career interests, there are several vocational student organizations. Future Business Leaders of America – Phi Beta Lambda (FBLA-PBL) and Family Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) help students develop leadership and career supportive skills. In addition, they improve student citizenship and provide relevance for instruction through integration of activities into the instructional program.
SCHOOL PUBLICATIONS
Students can gain a variety of experiences by writing for several school publications. The student newspaper, The Student Prints, is published five times during the academic year.
Memories, the yearbook of Bloomfield High School, is published at the end of the school year and gives an overview of student life at the high school for the academic year. A digital literary magazine is also published.
WORLD LANGUAGE CLUBS/HONORS SOCIETY
Our high school offers a number of clubs designed to improve interest in the culture and language of Spanish, French, and Italian speaking countries. These clubs include the Italian Club, Circle Francais, and La Alianza Hispanica. Some students in these organizations provide tutoring services for those having difficulty with foreign languages.
