A Note From Our Principal
|
 Dear Alumni,
It has been a difficult two weeks for the Bishop Watterson and St. Brendan communities. As many of you may be aware, Payton Young, a student at Bishop Watterson, went missing on January 21. I ask for your continued prayers and support of the Young family as we all hope for Payton to return home quickly.

Are you a graduate of Bishop Watterson or a
parent of an alum or current student?
Are you established in your chosen field?
Do you ever think about using your professional experience to help young people getting started, or someone with a great interest in your profession?
The Bishop Watterson Alumni Department is launching the Eagle Mentoring Network to assist members of the BWHS family in establishing a career or a new career. To do this we
need mentors in the Columbus community. If you are willing to mentor a BWHS grad through networking, etiquette coaching, interview coaching, and resume/cover letter review in addition to being a sounding board and offering suggestions and encouragement, please contact us!
