With the 'Spirit of Bishop Ward' Scholarship Dinner behind us, we wanted to share an AMAZING update on the evening. For the first time in the event's history, we raised over $115,000 for student scholarships! This would not have been possible without our amazing sponsors, donors, guests & other friends of Bishop Ward. We can already confirm that this event will be held out at Children's Mercy Park again, so mark your calendars for the month of April!
We received such positive feedback about the venue, our program and the overall elevated 'Spirit of Bishop Ward'. Without this type of support from our donors, Bishop Ward students would not be able to attend our school to receive a well-rounded Catholic education, so cheers to you all!
We would like to congratulate our 5 seniors who have signed letters of intent to continue their athletic careers at their respective schools. We are proud of all their hard work and determination they put in during their time at Bishop Ward. Those 5 seniors are: Juan Delgado Medina - Lincoln University FB, Christian Brown- Highland Community College FB, Immanuel Campbell- University of Saint Mary MBB, Brice Johnson Jr. - Highland Community College FB and Roderick Strong Jr. - Highland Community College FB. Great Job Cyclones!

In support of nonviolence and to express solidarity, Bishop Ward students marched twice around the school building today, April 25. The rally was organized by the Black Student Union after the shooting of their peer, Ralph Yarl, when he went by mistake to the wrong house. Before the march, the students gathered in the auditorium for a brief history of nonviolent protest.
Field day 2023 is in the books! Students enjoyed various games, activities and new to this year the dunk tank!
Today we had a panel of Senior give their advice to a group of freshmen and sophomore young men. It was a great experience for our students to hear from their peers how to navigate life and the challenges that come from being in high school. Way to Go Cyclones!
"He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said."
From everyone at Bishop Ward we would like to wish you and your families a Happy Easter.
