WALK-A-THON is coming April 28!
Our traditional Bishop Chatard Walk-a-Thon is April 28, and our goal is for 100% student participation and to raise $30,000. Our student campaign will bring in funds to provide tuition assistance for our students and, this year, to improve worn out P.E. Locker rooms. Some of this equipment was around when some of our older alumni were students!
We are encouraging our students to do what so many of you already do, and that is to give something back. Providing excellent experiences for our students remains paramount, and this student effort speaks so well to our mission of forming the whole person with opportunities for faith, learning, leadership, and service.
As you know so well, we are in this together. If you haven’t had a chance to participate in one of our fundraising campaigns this year and would like to empower our students, a gift in any amount is greatly appreciated. If you would like to ‘sponsor’ a student that is having difficulty raising the $50, please contact Director of Alumni Relations Anne Homan '06 at ahoman@BishopChatard.org! You can also use this link to donate, and write in the comment section, BCHS student WAT.
As always, thanks for all you do to make our community stronger, and thank you for your support!

Achievement Award Nominations now being accepted
Bishop Chatard High School presents its Achievement Awards at the school’s Annual Fund Dinner to honor faculty, alumni, community members, and volunteers who epitomize and live out the Catholic mission daily here at BCHS. Presented annually since 1994, the Achievement Award is Bishop Chatard’s highest non-academic honor. It recognizes the important role the extended community plays in educating, nurturing, and forming today’s students — tomorrow’s leaders.
Please help us recognize outstanding Trojans! Nominations for the 2022-2023 Alumni Achievement Awards are being accepted through Monday, May 15.
ALUMNI
Trojans for Life is the motto of Bishop Chatard alumni, and the Alumni Achievement Award recognizes a graduate who has continued to live the faith-based values learned at BCHS. Alumni award winners motivate their fellow alumni to pay it forward by engaging in today’s Bishop Chatard community.
