In partnership with Capital Workforce Partners, Bloomfield High School now offers a CNA Prep course. This program started this past summer with our pilot class, who put in weeks of summer prep to start the program at BHS this fall! These students will conclude the program at the end of the first semester, January 2025 prepared to become a licensed CNA.

On Thursday, October 24, 2024, BHS' CNA Program participated in The Unconference: Breaking Barriers in Healthcare - Together We Innovate at Central Connecticut State University. Students were able to engage in dynamic discussions, share groundbreaking ideas, and connect with industry leaders committed to change. Senior, Taylor Jackson served on a panel of students who collaborated to discuss and redefine what healthcare looks like today.

The future is bright for these students who are already making their presence known in the healthcare field!

Established in 1989, Hispanic American Heritage Month is observed from September 15th to October 15th, when many Latin American countries celebrate their independence. This is an opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate the diverse Hispanic cultures existing within our communities.

In Mr. Santos' Spanish classes, students worked together to create a Hispanic Heritage mural, featuring many prominent Hispanic Americans. This was a great opportunity for students not only to learn about different Hispanic Americans that have made a great contribution but also to showcase their artistic abilities.

Students also worked on projects during the month on different Latin American countries. Student researched countries such as: Guatemala, El Salvador, Chile, etc. and produced posters which detailed many important facts that made each country unique. Student projects are showcased in many of our classrooms for students and staff to enjoy!
