What I like about BCHS: We are an inclusive school that looks at each individual and strives to develop the whole person so that he/she can carry the values of family, church and school into the broader community.

Favorite BCHS Moment: I delight in seeing each student walk across the stage at graduation. It is a mini video spanning thoughts about where the individual was and where he/she is now. It is all about success!

Favorite Quote: "To act justly, to love tenderly, and to walk humbly with my God." ...Micah 6:8

What I like about BCHS: The Bishop Chatard Community is a family.

Favorite BCHS Moment: One of my proudest moments at Bishop Chatard occurred on one of the hottest days this past summer. With just a few hours notice, 30 students arrived at school with a case of cold water to distribute downtown to the homeless. Those moments are what we are all about here.

Favorite Quote: "Jesus promises a life in which we increasingly have to stretch our hands and be lead into places where we would rather not go."

What I like about BCHS: Ever since I first came to BCHS as a freshman in high school, Bishop Chatard has been an extended family to me. The community has blessed me with a strong faith foundation, a solid education, and lifelong friends. The best part of teaching and working at BCHS is having the opportunity to give back to a community that has given me so much, and to be inspired every day by the students, teachers, administrators, staff, and volunteers.

Favorite BCHS Moment: So many! I'd have to say that my favorite memory is teaching my youngest brother, Steve Rea. It was a joy to share his senior year with him--I'll always treasure the time we had together.

There is a postive energy and commitment to excellence that guides students, faculty and staff. I feel proud to work within this community of faith where... "All are welcome and all are served."
