2024 Annual Report


Our 2024 Annual Report is now available online! Please take a moment to see how your generosity is making a meaningful impact at Bishop Chatard, and helping our students grow in faith, learning, leadership, and service. We are grateful for your continued support. Click here to view the report.


Road Closures


Thank you to our BCHS community for your flexibility and cooperation as demolition is taking place along Evanston Avenue, across from the baseball field. We appreciate your patience as we navigate temporary traffic restrictions in this area.


A reminder that parking is no longer available along the third baseline, but students may park along the first baseline and use the walking path to access the building. Those traveling to school from the south should use 58th Street to Crittenden Avenue and then Northgate Street to reach the main parking lot. The third baseline parking area will remain closed until demolition is complete.
