Congratulations to our students at Bloomfield High School and Global Experience Magnet School who earned Industry-Recognized Credentials (IRCs) this year!

Pictured below is our first cohort of OSHA 10-certified students, proudly wearing graduation cords in recognition of their achievement. Earning an OSHA 10 credential demonstrates a commitment to workplace safety, career readiness, and professional growth.

Expanding access to IRCs is an important district priority as we continue to provide students with meaningful career exploration opportunities and real-world skill development. Credentials like OSHA 10 help students gain valuable, transferable skills, explore future career pathways, and distinguish themselves as they prepare for college, careers, and life beyond graduation.

We are incredibly proud of these students and all who earned industry-recognized credentials this year. Their hard work, dedication, and commitment to excellence are helping build a strong foundation for future success. A special thank you to Mr. Mitchell for his leadership in leading this opportunity for our students!

Students in Ms. Baker's AP English Literature class brought their "Bricks and Voices" unit to life through a powerful blend of literature, art, and reflection. Each student selected a novel or play that had a meaningful impact on them during their four years of high school and transformed a literary element—such as symbolism, setting, character, figurative language, or point of view—into a unique brick design. With guidance from Art Teacher Ms. Ashborn, students created artistic representations that captured the essence of their chosen texts. To accompany their artwork, students wrote analytical papers explaining their creative choices and connecting them to key moments and themes from the literature. Students proudly shared their final projects with school staff and current sophomores in the library, showcasing the deep connections they formed with literature throughout their high school journey. The bricks will remain on display in the library, serving as a lasting celebration of student voice, creativity, and learning. A special thank you to Ms. Baker, Ms. Ashborn, and Mr. Staton for creating this meaningful interdisciplinary experience!
