Sock Drive Next Week

Bishop Watterson Student Council will be hosting a sock drive next week, March 24-28. Students can drop their donations off in Dominican Hall or the Chapel Lobby. The drive benefits Holy Family, a local charity that helps families in need right here in our own community. We ask that all socks donated be new and in their original packaging. On Friday, March 28, we will have an all-school crazy sock day; all students are invited to come to school wearing fun and crazy socks!

Men's Night 2025 Registration Deadline is Friday at Noon

It's that time of year for the men of Bishop Watterson to get together for a fun evening of fellowship and good food with remarks by our 2024-25 state champion coaches: Brian Kennedy (football), Scott Dempsey (girls soccer) and Felix Catheline (wrestling).

All alumni, current or past dads, grandfathers, colleagues or friends are welcome!

As a part of the Mothers Club Spring Style Show we are organizing a silent auction fundraiser. To help make the auction a success, please consider donating a NEW purse or wallet, a bottle of bourbon or a gift card!
