From the Desk of the Principal

The PSAT is right around the corner. The PSAT will be offered digitally on 10/11/23 for

all 9^th, 10^th, and 11^th graders. Please note that day is also a half day with noon dismissal. Parent/Teacher conferences are also on 10/11/23, so be on the lookout for that information from your student’s teachers. Prior to the PSAT, students will have a chance to log on Bluebook, which is already downloaded on their Chromebook, to take a practice test. 

Thank you and have a blessed day,

• Write a more formal biography to be read at the game.
• Attend the Homecoming dance.

COVID-19 is highly contagious, and individuals who are infected can easily spread the virus to others, especially in close-contact settings such as schools. Keeping an infected student at home helps contain the virus and reduces the risk of it spreading within the school environment. If you have concerns, please contact frontdesk@bmchs.com.

Hello everyone! As we begin the new year I would like to share the dates of all class retreats this year:

Freshmen – Wednesday, October 25, 2023

Sophomore – Wednesday, November 15, 2023

Junior – Friday, March 8, 2023

Senior – Friday, April 26, 2023

Please review the student handbook below regarding attendance for class retreats.

Opportunities for spiritual growth are offered in the retreat programs as well as youth ministry activities. Through the various programs and activities, the students are challenged to look for ways by which they can contribute and participate in the life and mission of the Catholic faith community. Each grade level has a day-long retreat during the school year. Attendance at the grade-level retreat is mandatory for all students and is part of their grade.
