The classes of 1969, 1979, 1989, 1999 and 2009 gathered this summer to celebrate their class reunions. Whether it's been 10 years, 20 years, 30 years, 40 years, or 50 years since our Alumknights walked the hallways of Bishop Kelly High School; all were happy to return, see the amazing changes at our beloved alma mater, and reconnect with good friends. Please come back anytime!! Bishop Kelly's doors are always open to you!

It's Better to Give
and
Receive

When we depart this life for the next, we won't be remembered by the clothes we wore, the kind of car we drove or the house in which we lived. Rather, we will be remembered by the impact we have made on others. Most of us hope and desire that our lives and choices make a positive difference, a lasting impression and legacy for which our family, friends and community can remember us.
At Bishop Kelly High School, we have witnessed the countless ways in which our beloved donors have changed the lives of our students by their generous gifts to the school and to the Bishop Kelly Foundation endowment upon their deaths.
