A glimpse at Kelley’s future By Madison Brook “Without continual growth, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning,” Benjamin Franklin once stated. As Bishop Kelley has completed significant enhancements to the campus over the past year with the new cheer and wrestling facility, field house, and gym floors, the school continues to plan for projects that will grow and improve the campus for current and future students. Currently, Bishop Kelley has been working to complete “The Championship Drive” which has included the new field house. They wish to continue those renovations by redoing the stadium stands and press box in the football stadium. They also want to add a new scoreboard to the

stadium. While continuing in the remodeling of the sporting facilities, the baseball and softball fields well receive some renovations as well. Lights will be added to both stadiums and the baseball field will be turfed. The school board is also looking to purchase Mitchell park which is located across from the football stadium. The area will be turned into additional parking and a tennis complex. One of the largest projects that the school wishes to undertake is to replace the PC building. This building, which used to house the sisters that lived on the campus and is now where theology classes take place, has been around since the school was built.
The board is also looking to build a larger cafeteria that could hold all of Bishop Kelley’s students. This would result in one lunch time that would last about an hour. The idea is for students to be able to meet with their teachers and hold club meetings
during this time as well. While the school has no set agenda, these projects are the main interests that they are currently looking into. Current students will be excited to return to Bishop Kelley after graduation and see the changes that the school will have accomplished over the next decade. *Plans provided by Fr. O’Brien. Note: Future enhancements to the campus are contingent upon donated funds.
