Student Services and Activities

Bloomington High School offers a variety of services to students including but not limited to guidance and counseling services, health services, and homebound instruction.  In addition, extra‑curricular activities including inter‑scholastic athletics for men and women as well as many clubs and organizations are offered.  Students are encouraged to avail themselves of all services as needed and to become active in extra‑curricular activities.

ELIGIBILITY

In accordance with Illinois Laws, students who represent the school in athletics, academic teams, performing groups, and those selected in school-wide and grade-level elections must meet academic standards.  To be eligible, all students must have passed five classes in the prior high school semester.  Students must maintain continuous passing grades in five classes during the course of the season.  Students failing to meet these standards will be suspended from competition or performances for a minimum of one week, until their grades meet the standard.  This provision will not apply to activities that are required extensions of class work as indicated in the official Course Description Guide.

TRAVEL TO AND FROM COMPETITIONS

All athletes and extra-curricular participants are expected to travel with their team/organization to and from all away events.  Parents and guardians may arrange with the coach or sponsor to transport students by sending a note to the sponsor prior to the event, and then meeting the sponsor at the event, where supervision will be personally transferred.  Students are not normally released to adults other than their parent/guardian.  Exceptions require the prior written approval of the principal.  Students are not normally allowed to drive themselves.  Exceptions are made only in cases of competitions in the Bloomington/Normal area, and requires advance written parental permission.
