A message from President Bill Sahm
I can't think of a more appropriate time of year to thank all of our parents for entrusting your children to us. I am frequently asked, "What makes Bishop Chatard so special?" And, my answer is, in part, "We have great families, who all want the same things for their children." The values you impart to your children and the support we receive from you makes our job so much easier and rewarding.
I would also like to thank our faculty, staff and administration for pouring their hearts and souls into the formation of all of our students. The students also deserve thanks for their contribution to the lives of their fellow Trojans, students and adults alike.
The community of Bishop Chatard High School is truly blessed.
God bless you and Happy Thanksgiving!
Bill Sahm

Some thoughts leading up to our Thanksgiving holiday…
I feel fortunate that I am able to begin each day at Bishop Chatard with time and a place for prayer. I arrive early and take advantage of the quiet time, alone in our chapel. My prayer follows a pattern. I fight the urge to ask for something for myself right away, but instead begin with prayers of gratitude. I follow this by praying for family and the needs of others and finally, praying for my own needs.
