Recently, a group of detectives from the Bloomfield Police Department visited with BHS' Forensic Science class students to share insights into their careers and real-life cases. During the session, they provided valuable information about the field of law enforcement, detailing their experiences and responsibilities. The detectives also hosted a Q&A session, offering guidance on education and career paths for students interested in the field. Their visit gave students a deeper understanding of the profession and how to prepare for a potential career in Criminal Justice.

This is just one of the opportunities for career exploration occurring at BHS. Thank you Mrs. McCaughey for organizing this opportunity for our students and allowing them the opportunity to learn more about law enforcement related careers.

It is hard to believe that in seven (7) short months, your child will be a senior! It is very important that your child create a realistic post-secondary plan as time goes by quickly. Mrs. Plummer would like to invite all juniors and their parents/guardians to schedule a Junior Planning Meeting. The meetings are scheduled for 45 minutes in person. If we start this process early, I can assure you that your child’s stress level will be minimized during their senior year. Please use the link below to schedule your appointment. I can also be reached at splummer@blmfld.org or at 860-286-2636 ext. 1011 to coordinate a meeting time.
