8th Grade Registration Time
|
 Do you have an 8th grader? We would love to have your child become a member of the Bishop Watterson family! High school is a time of life when you want your child who is turning into an adult to stretch academically, grow in faith and explore interests within a community of families who feel as you do.
Colleges love to see our students coming. The class of 2016, at 218 members, earned more than $21 million in college merit scholarships. They gave more than 26,000 hours in service to their communities outside of the Sophomore Service Project.
Give your child the advantages Bishop Watterson has been striving to teach our students since 1954: faith, discipline and excellence.
To learn more, click here, or contact Director of Admissions Mary Kate Campbell '09, mcampbell@cdeducation.org, (614) 268-8671, est. 284.

Classroom Project Event Set for February 1
|
Bishop Watterson has undergone numerous changes to the facilities over the past decade and we're hoping to keep the ball rolling with the remodeling of more classrooms this summer.
All alumni, family and friends are invited to join Deacon Chris Campbell '77, Mike Kenney '93 and Nick King '93 as they present their plan and vision for remodeling the remaining 14 classrooms on February 1 at 6:30 p.m.in Dominican Hall (part of our south addition in 2009). Mr. King and Mr. Kenney, owners of Preferred Living, began their support of Bishop Watterson High School in 2013 with the creation of our business classroom. Since then, with the support of additional donors, they have remodeled 14 more classrooms and replaced the windows and doors on the north and east sides of the building. We invite you to visit on February 1, tour our classrooms and consider supporting this year's remodeling project. Click here to let us know you will attend.

St. Lawrence Haven is the St. Vincent de Paul-run sack lunch program. St. Lawrence Haven is located behind Holy Cross Church at the corner of Rich and Main streets downtown. Approximately 300-500 meals are served each day. The staff at St. Lawrence Haven is very appreciative of the assistance we provide and we are very thankful for the alumni and friends who have taken time out of their busy schedules to help with this service endeavor!
