    • Bluefield High School (BHS) is a Canadian secondary school in Hampshire, Prince Edward Island for students from the Mid-part of Queens County, including the town of Cornwall. [1]
    The school is administratively part of the Public Schools Branch. Its official colours are blue and white and the mascot is a Bobcat. The sports teams from BHS are called the Bluefield Bobcats.


    History and characteristics


    In 2000, a new $2 million addition to Bluefield High School was opened by students, staff, parents, Eastern School District representatives and government officials. The new addition at Bluefield was 15,000 square feet (1,400 m2). It consists of seven classrooms, one special education area, a sick room, an art room, two work rooms, a general office area and a new main entrance area. The Honourable Jeffrey E. Lantz, Minister of Education, also participated in the official opening.
    In 2007, Bluefield was one of three Island schools, and one of ten Canadian schools, to receive a $40,000 HP grant to improve teaching by using technology. The grant was used to enhance teaching math and science at Bluefield. A team of five Bluefield teachers applied for the grant earlier that year.
    In 2010, BHS put on an open house of readings at the Confederation Centre Art Gallery by the Creative Writing Group of Bluefield High School led by Yvette Doucette.
    The high school offers both French and English languages.
