🏀✨ The wait is over! Monday kicks off the season for the BHS Girls' Basketball team, and we are thrilled to welcome our new varsity head coach, Christina Mables! 🎉👏
Coach Mables brings an incredible wealth of experience both on and off the court:
👉 Principal at Cedar Ridge Elementary School in Unit 5
👉 Former collegiate athlete at the University of Texas El Paso, where she helped lead the team to a Conference USA Championship and an NCAA March Madness appearance in 2008
👉 Transferred to Union University, leading the team to back-to-back NAIA National titles in 2009 & 2010.
👉 Her leadership extended off the court, with administrative roles in Rantoul and Champaign Unit 4 school districts, all while making time to coach!
From the classroom to the court, Coach Mables is a true leader, and we can’t wait to see what she’ll bring to BHS- let’s go, Lady Raiders!

🍎📘 An inspiring day for BHS Future Teachers Club at Illinois Wesleyan, led by BHS teacher, Sondra Findley! Nine aspiring teachers participated in an Educational Studies class, taught mini lessons, toured the campus, and enjoyed a "lunch & learn" at the Saga cafeteria.
Hopefully, we will have some of these students teaching in D87 one day!🍎👨🏽‍🏫

Fun fact: Sondra is '97 Titan grad with a double major in History and Secondary Education!

🎾✨ Honoring a Legacy: The Barry Nixon and Ed Rozboril Tennis Complex! Yesterday, BHS celebrated a special moment with the renaming and re-dedication of its new tennis courts as The Barry Nixon and Ed Rozboril Tennis Complex. These two legendary coaches built a Central Illinois tennis dynasty, inspiring generations of players and earning spots in the IHSTCA Hall of Fame, along with the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award.

The ceremony brought together Ed Rozboril, Barry Nixon's wife (in Barry’s memory), former players, current BHS girls & boys tennis teams, Evergreen Racket Club members, and community leaders—including a representative from the City of Bloomington, who partnered with D87 to make these courts a reality (thank you!).

This new complex will honor this dynamic duo and their incredible contributions to the BHS tennis program for years to come. 🏆💜💛
