Humility.  A simple word with profound meaning.
 
In our preparation for Open House a survey was sent to all of the students.  The two questions posed to the students were, "What does Bishop Chatard mean to you?" and "What has Bishop Chatard taught you."

Trojan Pride Day of Giving & Student Fundraiser
November 29 is a universal Day of Giving when we all focus on community and ways to give back -- concepts synonymous with Bishop Chatard High School. The school's annual student fundraiser has been transitioned to the Day of Giving, and each student is being asked to fundraise to contribute $40. Students will learn more about this effort in the days ahead and will receive a fundraising envelope along with sample text they can use to ask others to join them in this endeavor. We ask for your support of Bishop Chatard High School as it continues to provide a strong academic and faith-based education to students in the North Deanery of Indianapolis.  More information on how to participate in the Trojan Pride Day of Giving & Student Fundraiser can be found here .  Thanks for giving! Go Trojans!
