Blanchet Catholic School (BCS) is a private Catholic high school and middle school in Salem, Oregon, United States.
Blanchet was founded in 1995 after the tradition of two former Catholic secondary schools in Salem, Sacred Heart Academy (1863–1984) and Serra Catholic (1954–1969). It serves grades 7-12.
The school was named after Archbishop François Norbert Blanchet, the first Archbishop of the Oregon Territory. The school operates by permission of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Portland, but is not owned by a religious order.
The school mascot is the Cavaliers, and the school colors are royal blue and silver.
The Cavaliers excel in athletics, including football, volleyball, basketball, and baseball. Blanchet's fencing club took third place in the first Salem high school fencing championship in 2006.[1]
