An Incoming Freshman’s Guide to Bishop Gorman High School
e m o c l e Freshman Class of 2022! W
July 2018
On behalf of the administration, faculty and staff, I want to again welcome you and your family to the Bishop Gorman High School community! Over the past year, I have had the pleasure of meeting you and your families on school tours, visits to your respective schools, Shadow Days and Bishop Gorman Open House. When you return to campus in August, you will be writing a new, life-changing chapter in your life and we are so excited you chose to have that adventure with us. While our Office of Admissions has been happy to guide you and your families along the way, you will find additional resources at your fingertips, now that you are officially a Bishop Gorman Gael. Below are just a few offices and phone numbers that you may find helpful to answer your specific questions as you begin the school year. Remember that our Bishop Gorman website is also a helpful tool that always has additional answers and helpful tidbits not included in this publication. I wish you the best of luck as you make the transition from middle school to high school and I look forward to seeing you on campus.
Go Gaels!
