Accreditation Parent Survey
We are in the fourth year of our school’s accreditation cycle with the Ohio Catholic School Accrediting Association and would like to get parent input regarding both our Student Identity and Catholicity goals.
As a reminder Bishop Watterson's two goals are as follows:
Student Learning Goal: As students increase their use of technology in the classroom, they will demonstrate an increase in collaboration across the curriculum.
Catholicity Goal: Students will demonstrate a greater understanding of Catholic Social Teaching as it applies to citizenship in the digital age.
During this school year, we are evaluating how well our students have worked toward achieving these goals, and hearing from our parents will help in collecting important data for BWHS.
An email with the survey link was sent yesterday. All responses are due by November 22, 2021. We appreciate your time to complete this important survey!

- Financial Aid
- Technology Advancement

We are asking that all Bishop Watterson families, alumni and friends prayerfully consider a gift to the Annual Eagle Fund this year.

8th Grade Application Open
We are rolling out our options for 8th graders and their parents to learn about the benefits of a Bishop Watterson High School education! This year we are flipping our traditional 8th grade visit and providing flexibility to families in various stages of the high school decision process. Out of respect for our feeder schools’ efforts, and our own efforts, to maintain in-person learning, we plan to visit with 8th graders at our feeder schools, according to each school’s visit policies, and share a virtual visit hosted by BWHS students.
|
|
For those who know their 8th grade will be attending Bishop Watterson next year, we encourage you to apply now, while we are offering an Early Decision Application fee of $100, and plan on attending our Committed Students Day next spring.
