Celebrate Your School Awards

April Awardee: Bloomfield Middle and High School is bringing a wide range of postsecondary opportunities directly to students in this rural community. Through an open cohort Early College approach, about 61% of students are enrolled in dual credit courses, with nearly all earning some college credit. Students can take that even further, with the opportunity to earn 59 of the 60 credits required for an Associate of General Studies — all without ever leaving Bloomfield’s campus. Strong partnerships bring college credit and career-connected learning directly to students. Whether they’re pursuing a four-year degree, a technical certificate, or a career pathway, students build real momentum before they graduate.

February Awardee: Eastern Greene High School is expanding opportunities in a small rural setting — proving that size doesn’t limit ambition. Over the past year, the school strengthened counseling services by adding a Student Support Specialist, launched a Principal’s Advisory Committee to amplify student voice, and introduced new pathways that connect students directly to college and high-demand careers. A dual-credit engineering track with Ivy Tech, a P-CAP grant through CELL, and a partnership with the Indiana Uplands Microelectronics Academy are opening doors that didn’t exist before.

February Awardee: Greensburg Community High School is being recognized for building capacity, convening collaborators, and driving change through innovative senior celebrations that honor every post–high school pathway. Through its May 1 Signing Day—also known as May Day—GCHS celebrates enrollment, enlistment, and employment equally, bringing together colleges, military representatives, and local business and industry partners to formally recognize students’ next steps.
