Bismarck-Henning Rossville-Alvin Cooperative High School (BHRA) used its official Twitter account this week to announce upcoming events and recognize student achievements, including an invitation to a fall sports celebration and support for an individual athlete competing at the sectional level.

On November 5, BHRA posted, "Mark your calendars! Join us on Wednesday, November 12th at 6:30 PM in the Wilcox Gymnasium as we honor our fall sports teams and student-athletes for an outstanding season! Go Blue Devils!" The tweet was shared as an open invitation to students, families, and community members to attend the event recognizing athletic accomplishments during the fall season.

Later in the week, on November 7, BHRA encouraged followers to view their weekly updates by posting, "Check out this week's video announcements!"

Also on November 7, BHRA extended support to one of its athletes with the message: "Good luck to our Blue Devil, Lilly Johnson, as she represents BHRA at the IHSA Swimming & Diving Sectional tomorrow! We’re so proud of all your hard work — go make a splash! "

Bismarck-Henning Rossville-Alvin Cooperative High School is located in Bismarck within Vermilion County and serves grades nine through twelve. According to state data from the 2019-2020 school year, enrollment stood at 334 students (source). The largest class was grade ten with just over a quarter of all students enrolled (Illinois Report Card). Demographically, the student body was predominantly white (92.2 percent), with smaller representations from Black (0.9 percent), Hispanic (3.3 percent), and Asian (1.2 percent) communities during that period (Illinois Report Card).
