From the Principal

Dear BK Family,

Now in my 36th year at Bishop Kenny, I continue to be inspired by the strength, tradition, and spirit that define our community. The 2024-25 school year was filled with meaningful moments that highlighted the very best of who we are. Each year brings new challenges and opportunities, and it has been a privilege to witness how our students, faculty, families, and alumni continue to grow in faith and excellence together.

One of the most exciting milestones this year was the official opening of the Betty & Jack Demetree Family Athletic Training Center.  This beautiful, state-of-the-art facility is now serving our student-athletes, giving them the tools and support they need to train, recover, and thrive. It stands as a powerful testament to what can be accomplished through the generosity and vision of our school community. We are especially grateful to the Demetree family and to all who have supported the Legacy of Faith Capital Campaign, which continues to strengthen our campus and mission.

With this phase of construction completed, we are moving forward with construction on a new auxiliary gym that will allow multiple teams to train simultaneously, improving scheduling and facility access for all athletic programs. This phase will also include the addition of two new classrooms and a fitness and weight training center accessible to all students. These enhancements, along with other planned improvements, reflect our commitment to supporting both the academic and physical development of every Crusader.

This year brought new leadership to the global Church. In his inaugural Mass, Pope Leo XIV called upon the faithful: “Together, as one people, as brothers and sisters, let us walk towards God and love one another.”  This profound invitation to unity and love resonates deeply with the message shared by Bishop Erik Pohlmeier, who has encouraged our Catholic schools to embody these virtues in all aspects of education and community life. At Bishop Kenny, we strive to answer this call by building a community rooted in faith, committed to learning, and formed for service to others.

To our students: thank you for the joy, energy, and effort you bring to campus each day. To our families, faculty, alumni, and benefactors: thank you for walking alongside us in prayer and support. Every gift, every act of service, and every word of encouragement strengthens the legacy we are building together.

Tradition. Excellence. Faith.
