This fall we implemented a new program for our freshmen in an effort to assist them in their adjustment to high school. We recognize that the combination of a new school, new schedule, new class subjects, and making new friends can be challenging, so we added this weekly session. The goal is to provide knowledge not only of the topics introduced but also of the various staff members who can assist students during their four years at Bishop Watterson!
During study hall on Wednesdays, freshmen attend Freshman Seminar with a new topic addressed each week. Staff including Deacon Campbell, teachers and our counseling department have covered subjects such as time management, communication with teachers, study skills, four-year planning, anxiety and depression, career exploration, resiliency and a little history lesson about BWHS.
In addition, each freshman seminar class has an assigned staff facilitator whom they see each week. The semester wrapped up with learning styles, healthy coping mechanisms and more study skills options.

Watterson 101
- Did you know Bishop Watterson offers 146 courses? We want our students to excel and find their strengths and interests en route to their future careers. We do that by offering courses – from the arts through world languages – that meet their needs and abilities as well as their interests!
- Student-teacher ratio is a statistic that has been getting attention for many years. The assumption around this ratio: the smaller the ratio, the better the school. When we determine our ratio, we include every staff member who teaches classes or works directly with students to help them achieve their academic goals, such as guidance or intervention staff. Using this criteria, Bishop Watterson's student-teacher ratio is 11:1.
