Bloomington High School's Mission: The Mission of Bloomington High School is to prepare students for the challenges of a demanding global society. This responsibility is shared by faculty, staff, parents/guardians, and most importantly -- students. We believe in providing educational equity for our dynamic and diverse population. As responsible citizens, our students will face challenges that require increasingly complex problem-solving skills and the ability to adapt and apply knowledge. Accordingly, our responsibility is to assist all students in mastering the knowledge and skills for successful independent and lifelong learning. Further, we help students acquire effective communication skills needed for individual interaction and collaboration. Finally, we accept the responsibility to inspire our students to achieve their full potential. District 87's Goals: Through innovations in curriculum, assessment techniques and training of our professional staff, all students will be challenged to reach their full potential. All students will read proficiently at each grade level as evaluated using District assessments. We will continue to provide an educational environment that promotes respect for, and an appreciation of, diversity among students, staff and the community. We will recruit, retain, train, support and recognize an outstanding diverse teaching staff, support staff and administration that reflects the student population of Bloomington Public Schools District 87.
