Happy New Year to the Bishop Chatard High School community!
 
I hope the holidays provided the opportunity to rekindle your faith and spend time with loved ones.
 
While the Bishop Chatard students did not return to the classroom until January 5, the staff began their work one day prior. We preach to our students constantly about the need to serve our community. We tell them it's important to think outside of ourselves and to show love and compassion for others. It was time to walk the walk.
