From the Desk of the Principal

Dear Bishop Family -

I hope you are having a blessed Lent. As I was reflecting on this week and preparing for the UnGala, the following Lenten quote from St. Catherine of Siena appeared on my screen: “Nothing great is ever achieved without much enduring.” My mind and heart were touched spiritually with gratitude. I am so blessed to have community members support the school's additional efforts to make Bishop surpass beyond my words. Thank you for sharing your talents, gifts, and presence with our community as many have come together to support our Annual Navy and Gold Gala.

If you are unable to attend, please donate to our Annual Fund. No matter how large or small your contribution is, it will significantly make an impact. Please help me build a legacy at Bishop with your support. I am looking forward to celebrating with you and Bishop Emeritus Robert N. Lynch as we carry on with his established vision for BMCHS.  

Take care and create peace,

Ms. Jenalisa Zummo

Principal 

March is upon us and here at Bishop McLaughlin Catholic High School, we realize it is a time to make a focused academic effort a part of our Lenten growth. Our classrooms are not just places of learning but also spaces for spiritual growth. Utilizing the talents and strengths God has given us is one of the best ways we can give glory to Him. Parents, please check your student’s academic progress and discuss with them any missing assignments or areas that need improvement. Our teachers are always willing to work with your children and encourage them to take advantage of the free after-school tutoring to strengthen their academics.

We are proud of the many opportunities our students are given to continue their growth in Christ through extracurricular activities. We invite you to come and support our students as they perform and compete. Our Drama club will have its production of Beauty and the Beast March 7th and 8th, and two performances on the 9th. Spring sports are underway with a solid calendar of games and matches for you to enjoy. We encourage all students to join an extracurricular activity to heighten their high school experience. The adults and fellow students can help you connect with a coach or club sponsor. Signing up for a Fall sport now will give you access to all preseason information. 

This month we shine a spotlight on some of our outstanding students who have gone above and beyond in their academic pursuits. Through resilience, hard work, and a passion for learning, these students serve as inspirational examples to their peers. I congratulate all students being inducted into our Honor Societies on March 7th at 1:45 PM. This is an honor that epitomizes the effort and determination necessary for success. We look forward to seeing all that you achieve in your academic endeavors and in life. 

Finally, I would like to remind you that Tuesday, March 12th is an early release with a 12 Noon dismissal following the ACT testing for all Grade 9,10, and 11 students. Extended time will be given to any students who receive that accommodation.

May we continue to live and grow in Christ,

Mr. Schlereth
