Over the last year, several capital needs were addressed as Bishop High completed $4.3 million dollars in building and upgrades. Thanks to generous donors, the all-asphalt quad became a park-like courtyard, and the practice gym was built in conjunction with the main gym’s renovation, including locker room and restroom upgrades.

“The grounds of the school are something I still marvel at each time I walk in (on campus). It is truly a place of peace and beauty. However, it is the faculty and support staff and the students that are the lifeblood of any school, that give it meaning, and determine its legacy. We feel fortunate to be able to be part of what everyone there (at Bishop High) has worked so diligently to create. “
Parents of senior student 07-08.

Please consider giving generously as we brief you on the following Master Plan projects in process:

• Refurbishment of the Science Wing: This year Bishop High added AP Chemistry. Almost nothing seems to be changing faster than the technologies of the Sciences. Bishop’s teaching staff has the know-how to optimize student preparedness for college level Sciences. We want to extend the potential of students and teachers with current facilities and interactive technologies. The blueprints are up on the wall in the Advancement Office.

• Weight Room Renovation: Nearly 85% of our students play at least one sport and 50% participate in two or more sports. Addressing our student’s training needs and ability to compete safely, is essential. With 16 sports and 32 teams, our weight room has seen a great deal of wear and tear in the last 15 years. Updated equipment will better address the needs of our lighter framed athletes, male and female, across a variety of skill levels. Please stop in to the Advancement Office to view the plan.Please click on this link for additional information.

• The Mary Iannelli Memorial Scholarship Fund: We are pleased to announce the founding and funding of this scholarship opportunity focusing on the arts. Begun in memory of Mary Iannelli, mother of Board of Trustee Member, Ralph Iannelli, the Iannelli Family wishes to honor her memory by assisting Bishop students who also demonstrate an understanding of how important art is to our society.

• The Frs. Sal, Alexander and Alonso Alumni Endowment Fund: Created in 2005, this fund is designed to build a legacy for the future, to support, uphold and perpetuate the educational work of the school. Please click on this link for additional information.

A healthy Master Plan reflects the energy and forethought of Bishop High in its efforts to meet a broad spectrum of Bishop family needs. Donors to capital projects and those who contribute to the Endowment Fund, Scholarship Funds and Adopt-A-Student, round out the Master Plan initiatives of preserving affordability and sustaining proper facilities. We welcome your inquiries and assistance.
