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. 🏆💜💛

Kelly Scherms' World History classes were tasked with jotting down two observations made during their first day at BHS. Here are some of their reflections:
-"All the teachers were hyped and greeted us with ‘good morning’."
-"Teachers went out of their way to help me find my classes."
-"My mom works here, making the school feel even more welcoming."
-"The first class I walked into had inspiring things on the wall."
-"High school is sorta fun – wasn't expecting that!"
-"The staff are super welcoming right from the start."
-"Every teacher I met greeted me with a warm smile."
-"Bloomington High feels like a welcoming place, almost like a second home."
-"The staff here are not just helpful, but genuinely kind."
-"This school is easy to navigate, contrary to popular belief."
These comments reflect a successful start to the school year, with freshmen feeling welcomed and supported right from the start- way to go BHS staff for making it a positive first day! 📚✨
