Passion of Christ Strengthen Me

Let's give a BIG CAVALIER welcome to the 13 new students and their families to Bishop Neumann Catholic High School!

With as crazy and upside down as the school year has been so far it is hard to believe we are already starting our eighth week. It is an understatement to say there have been many challenges this year and our students, parents, faculty, and staff have had to make many sacrifices already. In fact, while writing this message I find myself quarantined due to a high risk exposure of a positive COVID-19 case. However, as an administrator of the school, it has been beautiful to watch how well we have all adjusted to being back at school amidst this global pandemic. Read More →

The First Day of School 2020 was very different than any other first day. Students arrived and were greeted by teachers, temperature checks and given face coverings. Though they were hard to see under the masks, everyone was all smiles.

We started the day with an all school social distanced mass in the gym lead by our new Chief Administrative Officer, Fr. Lee Jirvosky.

After mass everyone headed to their first period classes following the one way arrows in the hallways. In the classrooms students are spaced out as much as possible. Teachers are taking advantage of the outdoor spaces and moving classes outside when they can.

Meet our new 4 legged friends, Millie, female Mini Australian Shepherd and Riley, male Golden Retriever. These two pups will be going through training over the next year to become certified EduPups. They will then be able to come into the classrooms when needed or be available for students. Read More →

Wahoo Council 1833 donated $2,000 each to Bishop Neumann, St. Wenceslaus, and St. John Nepomucene. We cannot thank our Knights enough for their continued generosity and support to our students and schools.

The Bishop Neumann Wrestling team purchased and planted a Red Oak tree in memory of Bob Chvatal, the father of Assitant Coach Keith Chvatal. Bob was instrumental in establishing the wrestling program over 16 years ago. The tree was planted in the family yard for all the Chvatal family to enjoy for years to come.

Bishop Neumann has chosen a theme for the year of “Anchored in Hope”. In these times of uncertainty and turmoil, our hope remains anchored in Jesus Christ. He will be our anchor as we navigate through our school year.

About 65 high school students gathered at the Kenney home for the first Neumann FIRE of the year. Students braved the heat to socialize, play yard games, roast marshmallows and listen to Neumann alum, Katie Lilly, and UNL student, Scotty Sullivan, share talks with the message of ‘Hope’ for the upcoming school year.

Neumann FIRE is a once a month event hosted by campus ministry that is a way for students to encounter Jesus outside of the classroom.

Congratulations to Kyra Scanlon, the 2020-2021 Bishop Neumann Drum Major.

Congratulations to the

2020-2021 Scarlet Knights Show Choir.

St. Wenceslaus Catholic School families recently finished their first major fundraiser of the school year – asking parents, families, friends, neighbors and fellow parishioners for a $25 donation to the School – – in return the donor receives a specially designed t-shirt. The t-shirts are printed and handed out in September just in time to celebrate the Feast of St. Wenceslaus. A photo of the students is always taken the first day they wear the new t-shirts. This is the 15^th year for the fundraiser. The first few years members of the fundraising committee would meet and come up with a design for the t-shirts. After a few years, it was decided to include the students in the process.

St. John's second graders were bird-watching as part of their Science unit.

Bishop Neumann High School received a rather generous gift from the estate of Alumni Cynthia Morris Brobst (1972). Cynthia lived very modestly and saved her money to fund ongoing Catholic Education at Bishop Neumann High School upon her death. Her gift of over $80,000 will go in Neumann’s Endowment Fund and will contribute to Neumann for the perpetuity of the fund. Cynthia’s commitment to our school will live on and have an effect on our students for decades to come. Remember Cynthia in your prayers. Please consider Planned Giving to Neumann’s Endowment Fund as we establish a long term, lasting disbursement.

Congratulations to Bishop Neumann's own, Seth Sabata, who was ordained a Deacon. Seth is currently on assignment in the Philippines and God willing will be ordained a Priest in Rome on April 24, 2021.

We want you to stay in the loop!
