[edit] History
In 2006, Bishop Gorman introduced a house system. There are ten houses in total divided into the Anderson and Sullivan Division. The houses in the Anderson Division are DePaul, Georgetown, Gonzaga, Holy Cross, and Loyola. The houses in the Sullivan Division are Marquette, Notre Dame, Seton Hall, Villanova, and Xavier. [1] However, the house system was replaced with an Associated Student Government after Dr. Sullivan was terminated.
The Bishop Gorman Women's Varsity Golf team has won an unprecedented 4 straight Regional and State Championships in a row. [2]
Bishop Gorman High School moved to a new campus in the Mesas Village of Summerlin for the 2007-2008 school year. The new campus is six times larger than the old one. [3] The class of 2008 is the first class to graduate on the new campus.
