In rural Indiana, schools do more than educate—they serve as the heartbeat of the community. At Bloomfield School District, we’re proud of the pride and purpose that defines us. Whether it’s a packed gym on a Friday night or a classroom visit from the superintendent, our schools bring people together.

Public schools are far more than places of learning—they are the heartbeat of our communities, driving economic growth, fostering a sense of unity, and delivering essential resources.

Each year, over 90% of Indiana’s school-aged children—more than one million students—attend our public schools.
