Bolingbrook High School

B H S is a great school, Mr. Mitchem is an amazing principle and he did a fantastic job with keeping the violence down. The teachers are great as well. They make a good connection with the students, and without that connection... LETS GO RAIDERS!!!!!!

Freshman year - Well the bomb threat on Halloween was a great day.  No school for most of the students and staff since a few students decided to make a threat to blow up the school.  Do not feel like the adminstration did a good job making the school a safe place to get an education.

Sophomore year - Just some fights.

Junior year - School went into lockdown, fights weekly, and a fellow student suggested the school motto be"We take a stab at our education" becuase there were two stabings.  When a few students decided to make teachers with the saying "We take a stab at our education" they were expelled.  This was not an apporiate response and I feel it violates the first amdenment. Also the fire in the mens bathroom in front of the deans office and the intermacy in the bathroom between a male and female student.

Senior year - Just some fights.  Still going though we might live up to our status "We take a stab at education" again.

Overall this school has a poor retake policy that lets students retake tests and homework but still fail.  This school is filled with violence and not a place to get a proper high school education.  

P.S. I do not feel that Mr. Mitchum has done enough to fix this school.  Most of the security guards harass students and are not a good influence.  

too many gangs and drugs around the school

Gang and overall violence is a huge issue. I want all teens to be safe and feel safe.
