Hello BCHS Alumni!
My name is Deanna Murphy and I am the new Director of Alumni Relations & Special Events at Bishop Chatard High School...and I am THRILLED to be here!
Although I am not a graduate of BCHS, my husband, Pat Murphy '90, is, and I have felt like part of the Trojan Family since I met him.
We have two children, Connor ('26) and Erin ('29), who have kept me busy as a stay at home mom for the last 15 years. While I was at home, I was a super star volunteer at St. Pius X Catholic School, The Children's Museum Guild (the Haunted House) and Bishop Chatard High School. When the opportunity to do what I love at an institution I love came along, I couldn't pass it by and am so thankful that I have been given this opportunity.
Go Trojans!
Deanna
