Adopt-A-Student Report Card Luncheon
On Thursday, November 8, 2008, Bishop High School hosted its annual Adopt-A-Student Report Card Luncheon.
The event is designed to thank and celebrate the many significant donors to this essential school program, while updating donors on our students and the school’s most recent accomplishments. The Adopt-A-Student Program provides tuition assistance for qualified students whose families demonstrate financial need and with 60% of our student body qualifying for assistance, the continued support of this program is essential.
