Bloom High School is a public school in Chicago Heights, Illinois. It is part of Bloom Township High School District 206.

The school was founded in 1900. A second Chicago Heights high school, Bloom Trail, was established in 1976 to offset overcrowding. [ [http://www.bloomtrail.org/about_trail.jsp?rn=61140 About Bloom Trail High School] . Retrieved 22 August 2007.] Since 1995, however, Bloom and Bloom Trail have shared the same sports programs, drawing from over 3,000 students [Taylor Bell.

The present Bloom High School building, erected during the Great Depression, was named to the National Register of Historic Places on June 3, 1982. It is an Art Deco structure with six WPA murals. [Delia O'Hara. "After 50 years, WPA frescoes bloom under duo's care." "Chicago Sun-Times". 22 July 1987.] The frescoes were created by Edgar Britton in 1935. The two limestone sculptures were designed by Curtis Drewes. The main structure of the high school was designed by the architectural firm of Royer, Danley, and Smith of Urbana, Illinois. Major additions were finished in 1956 and 1976.
