New academy to host open house Feb. 12

Bloomington Career and College Academy, a new Bloom­ington School District program, invites parents and students to an open house from 2:30 to 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 12, at its campus, 8800 Queen Av. S, Suite 219.

The academy, a program for students in grades 10 to 12, offers courses and curriculum aligned with career paths that include health sciences, information technology, criminal justice and law enforcement, and building and construction.
