We have always been impressed by the dedication and concern of the teachers. We are particularly excited about the new president recently named.

My daughter currently attend Bishop Chatard and we have found it to be a perfect fit for her needs. It is challenging academically and her teachers are available to her for questions or for help whenever she needs it. Because parental involvement is key to the survival of the school, my daughter is

My daughter is an athlete, she enjoys the fact that - I would estimate - at least 70% of the students are involved in some kind of sport. Chatard is school spirit and tradition. Read less

Many of the teachers here are awesome and really want the students to succeed.

I went to this school for my 3 last years of high school.
