Ivy Tech Community College Bloomington and Springs Valley Junior-Senior High School have partnered to help students get a head start on college by offering the Indiana College Core in high school. The credential is a 30 credit hour general education core of college credit guaranteed to transfer to Indiana public colleges and universities.
“We are excited for our students to have this opportunity through Ivy Tech,” said Principal Kyle Neukam. “Springs Valley will always work to provide the best course offerings for all of our students.”
Students take high school and Ivy Tech classes at the same time through dual credit or dual enrollment. Earning the core provides students the chance to Start As a Sophomore at Ivy Tech or other public universities, having already completed their first year of college credits.

6/21/2023
Hoosier Hills Food Bank will host the Bloomington Community Book Fair October 12th-17th, 2023 at the Monroe County Fair Grounds. The book fair features over 100,000 items – books and much more. There are specialty areas with large collections of children’s books, rare and collectible “better books,” horror and science fiction books, games and puzzles, comics, stamps and coins, and a big media section with DVDs, CDs, records, and tapes all at great, low prices. There will also be programs and food trucks throughout the week.
We accept gently used books, CDs, DVDs, records, games and puzzles at the Hoosier Hills Food Bank Monday-Friday from 9 a.m.- 5 p.m (2333 W. Industrial Park Dr). We do not accept donations October 1st-31st. For more information, please call (812) 334-8374 or e-mail Ryan at volunteer@hhfoodbank.org.
We are honored to be the home of this beloved community event. For more than 30 years, we’ve promoted a message of sustainability – that too much food is wasted and should instead be channeled to people at risk of hunger. In many ways, the same is true of used books. We can’t affordto be a throwaway society – not with food, not with books and certainly not with people.
Bring a canned food donation for a $1 book buck coupon!
