The B.H.S. Student Council was established in 1931 in order to set a high standard of citizenship, to encourage and support desirable student activities, to prepare students to meet the problems of school and adult life, and to afford to students the responsibility of participation in school management.   Council members are elected annually, with senior, junior and sophomore members elected in the spring preceding their term, and freshman members elected in the first month of the school year of their term.  Council officers are elected annually by the entire student body in March preceding the school year of their term.  The entire student body elects council officers annually in March preceding the school year of their term.  The Council advisor is appointed by the Principal.  The Student Council members should represent their constituency's viewpoint as well as keep them informed on school‑wide problems and information.  The Student Council is a member of the Bloomington‑Normal Intercity Student Council, the Illinois Association of Student Councils and the National Association of Student Councils.
