BLOCK B SOCIETY

Requirement Overview

All members of our BIS community are expected to uphold the Trojan Motto: Take care of yourself, take care of each other, take care of this place — by being appropriate, respectful and safe. Everyday acts of kindness should already be at the core of every BIS student.

​

Block B Society (BBS) honors students who extend themselves beyond the Trojan Motto and their classroom responsibilities. BBS aims to inspire students to become more well-rounded people through academic achievement, regular extracurricular activities, and acts of service.
