An unseasonably beautiful and sunny October 7th was the backdrop for our Legends Golf Classic at The Golf Club of Dublin.
This annual outing honors the legacies of two great coaches and administrators: Ron Shay and Tom Scholl. Our honorary guest this year was former BWHS football coach and Athletic Hall of Fame member Mike Golden. Due to the generous donations from our sponsors and golfers, we were able to raise nearly $7,000 that will be used to provide support for scholarships. The Alumni Department is thankful to all who contributed to making this event a great success.

At our Homecoming Assembly on October 12, we inducted Chuck Nance '58 into our Homecoming Hall of Fame! Chuck was a member of the first class at Bishop Watterson and president of his class all four years. He was also the first Student Council President at BWHS.
Under his leadership, the precedent of class representatives was set. When he was not pulling good-natured jokes in our beloved hallways, he could be found on the football or baseball field. After his career at Bishop Watterson, Mr. Nance joined the Marines. He and his wife, Jerry, recently celebrated 55 years of marriage, including raising and educating several children in the Catholic faith and tradition. Though he remains the only Bishop Watterson graduate in his family, to this day Mr. Nance is always loyal to his Alma Mater, and continues to meet with members of his graduating class over a meal every other month.

In October we completed our Back Field Renovation Project campaign thanks to our generous Bishop Watterson community! A donor’s offer to match gifts up to $250,000 through Oct. 10 propelled us across the finish line of this $3 million capital improvement project. Our band, baseball, cheerleading, field hockey, football, lacrosse, soccer and track programs are truly grateful and looking forward to having the back field in full use for the fall of 2019!
In addition, the renovation will also benefit our physical education classes and will allow Bishop Watterson to host Diocesan grade school football games, bringing potential families to our campus.
Many thanks to all who gave!
