What Bishop Gorman High School does

Bishop Gorman High School is a private Roman Catholic college-preparatory high school founded in 1954 and operated as a nonprofit institution under the oversight of the Archdiocese of Las Vegas. Located at 5959 S. Hualapai Way in Las Vegas, the school serves families in the Las Vegas Valley seeking faith-based secondary education, with a portfolio that includes a college-preparatory academic curriculum, an iPad 1:1 technology program providing each student with a dedicated device, faith formation through Campus Ministry (Kairos, Quest, and Senior retreats), and the MercyWorks Christian Service graduation requirement. The institution also operates 28+ interscholastic athletic teams and student-produced media including BGTV and The Lance newspaper.

The school's revenue model is anchored by recurring tuition from enrolled students, supplemented by a layered set of ancillary streams including the Hammes Campus Store (uniforms and spirit wear), yearbook sales through Jostens (priced at $110-$130), youth summer sports camps ($125-$175 per camper per session), and a multi-tier annual fundraising operation through the Gael Force Annual Appeal and Booster Club sponsorships ranging from $1,500 to $50,000. Technology infrastructure relies on third-party SaaS platforms including Blackbaud for student information and donor management, Naviance for college counseling, Parchment for alumni credentialing, and Aktivate for athletic registration. The school's distribution model is direct-to-consumer, with prospective families engaged through open houses, campus visits, summer enrichment programs, and feeder-school relationships within the Las Vegas Catholic grade-school ecosystem.

The institution has cultivated a sustained competitive brand, evidenced by multiple national football championships (2014, 2015, 2016, 2023), 2026 NIAA state championships in baseball, men's basketball, women's basketball, and men's golf, and an alumni network exceeding 15,000 graduates spanning the Class of 1957 to 2025. Governance credentials include Western Catholic Educational Association (WCEA) accreditation and Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association (NIAA) membership. Advancement operations are anchored by the Knight of the Gael Gala, Homecoming events, the Golf Classic, and a Hall of Fame program, supported by a dedicated Director of Advancement and the structured Gael Force membership tiers.
