Weekly Letter from Principal Joe Hansen
A little over a year ago I was asked to speak at the school's Dad’s Day Breakfast. It was my first opportunity to communicate with parents, teachers, and students after being named the new principal at Bishop Chatard High School.

Weekly Letter from Deacon Rick Wagner
To our Bishop Chatard parent community:
We face a sobering reality that the number of suicides among teenagers has steadily increased in the state of Indiana since 2007. The situation is such that the Department of Education is requiring that all teachers and administrators be trained in suicide prevention beginning in the 2018-19 school year.

BCHS Spring Musical
The Drowsy Chaperone
March 22 - 24
The Drowsy Chaperone
is a loving send-up of the Jazz Age musical.
With the houselights down, a man in a chair appears on stage and puts on his favorite record: the cast recording of a fictitious 1928 musical. The recording comes to life and The Drowsy Chaperone begins as the man in the chair looks on. Mix in two lovers on the eve of their wedding, a bumbling best man, a desperate theatre producer, a not-so-bright hostess, two gangsters posing as pastry chefs, a misguided Don Juan and a drowsy chaperone, and you have the ingredients for an evening of madcap delight.

Trojan Treasures Garage Sale
Join us on
April 21 from 7 a.m. - noon
and see what treasures you can find at the Annual Trojan Treasures Garage Sale hosted by the Athletic Booster Club.
Donate to the garage sale
We
are now accepting donations in containers in the parking lot. Charitable tax donation forms will be in the containers
.
Donate to the estate sale
This year, in addition to the traditional garage sale, BCHS will again host a “virtual estate sale"
through EBTH.com.
This will help BCHS generate more profit for valuable items that sometimes sell for much less than their value during a garage sale. Examples of estate items that individuals may donate include jewelry, mid-century modern or antique furniture, fur coats, designer handbags, wool area rugs, fine art, unique or rare pieces, or vintage clothing. Donations will be accepted from now until April 20. Please contact Amy Solomon at 317-750-9652
if you would like to have an estate item picked up.
