Bloom was founded in 1900 and along with its National Landmark building; it is filled with a legendary history of scholars, athletes and heroes. Imagine taking a walk down memory lane whether it is from your times at Bloom or stories and achievements of people before and after you that have had an impact on the world and have done Bloom proud.
