Dear Bishop Hartley Families:
We are pleased to be able to celebrate Homecoming 2021 with a dance for our students. The event will take place Saturday, October 9 from 7-9 P.M. This letter contains important details and reminders for our students who will be attending and their parents.
Check in for the dance will begin at 7 P.M. and close at 7:30 P.M. We will contact the parents of any students who have not checked in by 7:30 P.M. No students will be permitted to leave the dance prior to 8:30 P.M. Students must be picked up by 9:15 P.M.
Students must bring their Bishop Hartley student ID for check in. Freshmen and sophomores should enter through the main lobby doors, check in, and proceed to the Dick Geyer Gymnasium. Juniors and seniors are asked to park in the back parking lot and check in at the TACC entrance. All students are required to wear a mask during the event. As a reminder, no heels are permitted on the gymnasium or TACC floors.
We have met with all classes this week to discuss expectations regarding attire and behavior. We have reminded our students that they are Hawks 24/7. Thank you for joining us in reinforcing to your son/daughter to make healthy choices and to be young men and women of character.
We look forward to a wonderful evening with our students and thank everyone who has worked to make this event possible.
Sincerely,
|

Homecoming 2021!
Next week we will celebrate Homecoming 2021. Monday will be the official judging of doors decorated in the Homecoming theme during Mentor Groups this week. On Tuesday, students will play Kahoot games during Mentor Group for raffle prizes. (Prize winners will be announced Thursday during Mentor Group.) We will celebrate our Homecoming Mass as a community on Wednesday. Thursday is our “dress the theme” day. Students will be asked to “Shoot for the Stars” by dressing as what they want to do when they get older or what college they wish to attend. Friday is our traditional Red & Blue day which will finish with a pep rally and the introduction of our Homecoming Court. The Court will also be introduced during the Homecoming game against St. Charles Friday night.
Homecoming week will conclude with our dance Saturday evening which will include the announcement of our 2021 Homecoming King and Queen. We congratulate all members of the Homecoming Court: Dominique Assis, A'mya Eaton, Emma Guess, Taryn Jones, Emily Knox, Katie Mackessy, Payton Moore, Ellie Morrow, Oliva Ralston, Davianna Rodriguez, Zachary Blackmon, Cherod Bowens, Gabe Clark, Ricky Everhart, Joe Ferryman, Will Heskett, Bryce January, Andrew McFeeters, Malachi Penn, and Daniel Tooson.
