Bloom High School Hosts Successful Second Voter Registration Drive

CHICAGO HEIGHTS, IL — Bloom High School recently held its second highly successful voter registration drive, organized by the school's Senior Club with support from community partners.

The event, planned by the Bloom High School Senior Class Club under the leadership of its sponsors Monica Miller and Shellie Winters in partnership with members of the Joliet Area/South Suburban Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. saw an impressive turnout and engagement from students.

Members of the Joliet Area/South Suburban Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. and other community volunteers provided crucial assistance in running the drive. Diane A. Oliver, Division Coordinator at Bloom High School, also contributed her expertise to help ensure the event's success.

The drive aimed to increase civic engagement among young people by making voter registration accessible and appealing to high school students. Organizers set up registration tables in high-traffic areas of the school and provided information about the voting process and its importance.

"We're thrilled with the response from the students," said a spokesperson for the Bloom High School Senior Club. "Bloom students understand that voting empowers them to advocate for the changes they want to see. Registering to vote is our opportunity to stand up for our beliefs and represent our community. It’s inspiring to see so many of the students wanting to take an active interest in participating in our democracy by becoming a registered voter."

While exact registration numbers were not available at press time, organizers reported that turnout exceeded their expectations, building on the success of their first voter’s registration drive.

This initiative aligns with broader efforts across the country to engage young voters. With approximately 8 million teens eligible to vote nationwide, voter’s registration drives like this play a crucial role in ensuring that young voices are heard in the electoral process.

The success of this second voter’s registration drive at Bloom High School demonstrates the ongoing commitment of students, educators, and community partners to fostering civic engagement among youth.
