Blackford Jr.-Sr. High School Has a New Academic Bowl Team!
Quiz Bowl is a fast-paced buzzer competition in which teams of four players compete to answer questions that cover academic subjects like literature and science as well as the broader world of culture and current events.
Our Bruins will be competing against area schools next fall. In the meantime, our team is getting familiar with the question formats and use of the buzzers. There's still time to join. The Academic Bowl team is sponsored by Mrs. Deborah Hundley and Mr. David McConiga, so contact one of them if you'd like to join the fun!
Pictured below are some team members at this week's practice: (Photo 1 - from left) Charleston Slentz, Allie Clamme, and Charlie Crabtree; and Photo 2 - Cody Cook, Ammee Uggen, and Wyatt Smith .

Tuesday, March 1, 2022 - Earlier this morning, a hard lockdown was called at BJSHS. The lockdown was in response to the report of an alleged weapon on campus. Per corporation and building safety protocols, the hard lockdown was communicated to students and staff and the appropriate personnel were immediately contacted, including law enforcement. Building and corporation level administration, in collaboration with local law enforcement officers, investigated the alleged threat and a search was executed - NO WEAPONS WERE FOUND. Once law enforcement determined the building to be secure, the lockdown ended. We have returned to normal operations at this time. We thank you for your patience and understanding.
