2010 - 2011 Annual Report - Bishop Garcia Diego High School

BISHOP / HIGH
Dr. Paul Harrington
Head of School
Dear Friends,
As I begin my fourth year at Bishop High I believe more
firmly than ever in the Bishop High difference. That
difference, simply put, is the relationships among students,
families, alumni, friends, faculty, staff, and trustees.
A school’s culture can be defined by the values it instills,
beliefs shared and the traditions celebrated. This culture
provides the foundation for our informal curriculum. It is
this culture that enables us to really know our students as
individuals and it remains with our graduates long after
their four years of formal curriculum end at graduation.
Our school’s culture is rooted in our mission to promote the
spiritual, academic, physical, and emotional development
of our students. The fruits of this work are seen in many
aspects of campus life. This spirit and camaraderie were
ever-present last spring during the 2011 playoff games
as the boys’ and girls’ basketball teams made tremendous
runs at CIF titles. And for those of us privileged to attend
the senior class retreat in March, we witnessed students
and faculty as they shared experiences of personal faith
journeys. The presence of God’s work was evident in each
and every participant.
Many of the remarkable successes of our students are a
direct result of the wonderful opportunities provided by
our generous benefactors. You, our benefactors, help
make the Bishop High difference. Your unwavering support
and unparalled generosity have afforded hundreds of
students the chance to learn and grow in this special
environment.
It takes the entire Bishop community to make a difference
in the lives of our high school students. The following
pages celebrate the partnership that we as faculty, staff
and administration share with you, our parents, alumni
and friends. We thank you!
Kindly,
Dr. Paul Harrington
Head of School
