Bishop Brossart High School
May 2022
FROM THE PRINCIPAL

It’s hard to believe, as I type this, we have a little over three weeks left for the school year. Time is flying by as it always does this time of the year. I hope everyone is having a Happy Easter Season and enjoyed the break from school.

I also wanted to say thank you to everyone who has made my first year as principal a great year. When Mr. Ridder retired last year and I accepted the position, I thought I knew what to expect. Well obviously until you are in a position, you never really know. Yet, again, this year proved what a great community we have at BBHS.

We want to wish everyone a happy, safe, and fun summer break. We look forward to welcoming the Class of 2026 next school year and can’t wait to see all the students return led by the Class of 2023.

Finally, I would like to wish the best to our graduating seniors, the Class of 2022. They have had an unusual high school experience, but they have made the best of it and are already making us proud. I believe they will continue to grow in their faith and be a wonderful addition to our alumni community. Please keep them in your prayers as this year comes to a close and we celebrate their graduation on May 22nd. So here is to our Senior Class of 2022.

God Bless,
Chris Holtz

It was a great year to be a Mustang! With the exception of a few weeks of mask wearing, we were able to have a normal school year. Our students were educated all year long in their classroom, they sat at lunch wherever they wanted and next to whomever they pleased.  They had the opportunity to experience school dances, sporting events, academic competitions, numerous assemblies, and the Senior Play together.  We could pray and worship together without restrictions.  For the first time in nearly two years, our students were able to experience what it truly means to be a Mustang!
 
Your generosity through the Annual Appeal allows us to provide our teachers and students with the most current technology, textbooks, and workbooks. The Annual Appeal helps us provide our students with the best possible education and experience here at Bishop Brossart High School. It also affords us the opportunity to keep tuition costs low so that all families have the chance to provide a Catholic education for their child. We thank you for your support of this year's Annual Appeal and all that you do for the BBHS family.
 
Please consider contributing to this year’s Annual Appeal. Help us make this our most successful year yet, both in terms of amount raised and total number of contributions. Your gift will support the students of today and the Mustangs attending in the future. You can make a secure online contribution on our website: www.bishopbrossart.org/page/appeal.  On this page you can track how close we are to our goal, and it ranks classes by the amount given and the number of class members who have donated. We are forever thankful for your generosity and support of the students of BBHS.
 
May God Bless each of you for everything you do for Bishop Brossart High School.

PROCEEDS BENEFIT ALL MUSTANG SPORTS PROGRAMS. 
 
GOLF SPONSORSHIPS AVAILABLE
The BBHS annual golf outings are quickly approaching.  We need your help with sponsorships and donations, as well as, your attendance at one or both outings. 
 
These outings benefit ALL MUSTANG SPORTS PROGRAMS. The expenses to operate all the sports programs at BBHS exceed $200,000 a year. Entry fees, uniforms, equipment, supplies, transportation, officials, and salaries make up the bulk of this amount.  Revenues from participation fees, gate receipts, District and Regional shares, advertising, concessions and spirit apparel do not even cover half the expenses. We rely on the golf outing and other operations to help cover the remaining deficit. With your support of the golf outing, we can help cover these costs.
 
Please consider being a sponsor, or, asking your employer or a business contact to be a sponsor.  Sponsors will include advertising at both outings.  Corporate sponsorships are also available. 
 
Certificates for door prizes, goodie bags, or raffles are also needed.  Do you have any gift cards from Christmas that you haven't used? Donate them!  Can you donate Reds tickets, Bengals tickets or concert tickets?  Do you have a vacation home and can donate one week's use?  We are a 501c3 nonprofit and our TIN number or acknowledgement letter can be provided upon request.
 
If you have any questions, please contact Tony Harden at [email protected] or 859-635-2108 ext. 7704.  Sponsorship forms, and reservation forms are available online at http://www.bishopbrossart.org/events.  Jump on the MUSTANG bandwagon and be part of TWO great events!!!
