Senior Paper Due TUESDAY

The senior research paper is due on Tuesday, February 20. A hard copy of the paper must be turned in at the beginning of the student’s English class period. No late papers are accepted for any reason. Failure to turn in the paper along with all preliminary work at that time will result in required attendance at a summer session during which the student will write a different research paper in order to receive a diploma. The cost for the summer session is $300.

As we get closer to graduation for our seniors, we encourage them to continue their positive momentum and finish strong. Historically, some students have opted for a "senior skip" day during the same week that the senior paper is due. However, it's important for everyone to know that senior skip day is not endorsed by Bishop Watterson. We kindly request your support in reinforcing this message with your senior students. Please feel free to reach out to our administrators if you have any questions or concerns.

Bring Scholarship Letters to Counselors

College scholarships will be listed in the senior awards PowerPoint and graduation program.

As scholarship award offers from colleges are received, please remember to turn in copies to the counselors. We recommend starting with this as soon as the letter or email arrives. The information must be officially from the college or scholarship source; we will accept either a copy of the award letter or a printout from your online portal with the award name and amount.

Important Note: We will include awards from ALL colleges that have been offered, not just the college attending.
