| Alumni Department Launching Eagle Mentoring Network |
|
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!

Arrival Day: BWHS host students gathered at John Glenn International Airport last weekend to give a warm welcome to 22 students and two teachers from Instituto Russell-Newton in Florence Italy, one of our sister schools in Europe. The Italian teachers said their students didn't sleep a wink on the 17-hour journey because they were so excited for their 11-day visit to Columbus. They have a busy itinerary, with outings to places such as Ohio State, the Columbus Zoo and Amish country (among others) as well as a few days planned for them to shadow their hosts during a normal school day. Bishop Watterson will send a group of students to Florence in the spring.

Watterson 101: Get to Know BWHS!
|
The 289-strong Class of 2017 earned about $27 million in college merit scholarships. This is merit only and does not include financial aid. We are proud of their hard work!
98% of the BWHS Class of 2017 is attending college this year. Members of the Class of 2017 were accepted at 170 colleges and universities across the United States. They are attending 66 schools. Not too surprisingly 77% of those who went on to college are attending schools in the state of Ohio, including The Ohio State University, Case Western Reserve, Ohio University, University of Dayton, Miami University, Xavier University and University of Cincinnati, among others.

Sport-Specific Spirit Wear
|
We are launching a new spirit wear website with sports-specific items!
A portion of each sale goes back to the Athletic Department.
At the start of each season (fall, winter, spring) we will have a promotional period during which customers will receive a discount in exchange for grouping your order with other fans. These orders will be processed at the close of the discount window and will arrive at your home 7-14 days after that date. If you order during non-promotional periods, your order will be processed within several days and you will most likely receive the order in 5-7 days.
