Our need-based Tuition Assistance Program is available to all Hartley families. Applications are online through FACTS and are available beginning December 1. The deadline for applications is March 15. The application and all supporting documents must be submitted by this deadline. Both the Diocese of Columbus and Bishop Hartley High School use this application to award tuition assistance funds. Please note that a child must be enrolled at Bishop Hartley in order to receive tuition assistance. While the need is always greater than the available funds, we try to help as many families as possible.

Last Friday, Sr. Felicity’s sophomore religion classes went on a Saintly Scavenger Hunt around the building. They learned about the saints as they explored and found saintly images throughout the building.

Many of the images hanging in our hallways are the artwork of Bishop Hartley alumna, Grace Morbitzer (2016), owner of The Modern Saints by Gracie.

Bishop Hartley is excited to announce our 3rd annual Day of Preparation and Community which will take place Friday, March 25. Please see the letter from House Dean, Molly Hartge with details.

Several of our students are currently working on or will soon begin cross-curricular activities.

Seniors are reaching the final stages of their Capstone Projects which began in English class first quarter and have continued in both religion and government classes. Presentations will take place in Mentor Groups the first two weeks of May.

Juniors are exploring research topics through their American History and English classes. In addition to the seeing connection between American History and American Literature, students are able to apply research skills practiced in English class to another subject area.

Freshmen will soon join the collaboration effort with two projects. They will be studying haiku poetry in the biology classes (yes, biology classes) with a quick reinforcement lesson in English. In addition, next week, freshman religion and English teachers will kick off a collaborative effort which examines parallels between the life of Christ and today’s world.

Please watch Schoology and talk with your children about these projects which they and their teachers are busy working on.

Please save the date for the Columbus Catholic Schools College Night for High School Juniors, March 23, 7-9 p.m.

Only one registration is required per family.

Selections for the National Honor Society are underway. Sophomore and junior students who have met the academic requirement for membership (3.500 cumulative GPA after a minimum of 3 semesters), received an invitation to apply through their school email account on February 21. The electronic form to apply must be submitted before March 8 at 3:15 p.m. when the form closes.

Please note that there are other organizations which, on the surface, appear to be NHS. They are not affiliated with Bishop Hartley and do not carry the same prestige as National Honor Society membership. The National Society of High School Scholars (NSHSS) and the Honor Society Foundation, while legitimate organizations, charge $75 or more for memberships and are not based on GPA.
