Parent Organizations

The Bishop McGuinness community not only includes students, faculty and staff; parents, grandparents and friends are a strong component of the Bishop family.  We consider that parent involvement is just as important during the student’s time in high school as it was during their grade school years; that is why at Bishop there are several opportunities for parent involvement.

• Home School Association or PTO (Parent Teacher Organization)
  This organization acts as a link between the parent community and the school.  It is involved with planning activities including school dances, the faculty appreciation dinner and the annual parent fund raiser.  The PTO meets four times each year at the school. All parents are encouraged to attend and participate.  Please consult the school calendar for events and meeting dates.
   
• Annual Parent Fund Raiser
  This effort is conducted by the PTO and is chaired and staffed by parents. Students are also encouraged to help with this event and may earn community service hours by doing so.
   
• Spiritual Life Committee
  The Spiritual Life Committeeof the Board of Education exists to support the school’s mission statement goal to “develop each student spiritually . . .by creating an environment in which the teachings of Jesus are promoted and proclaimed.” The first priority is individual and communal prayer for all souls present at the school. We are also available to support the Chaplain and Campus Ministry offices in any way needed and enhance the school’s Catholic identity and visual spiritual environment.  If you would like to be involved, please contact Karen Black at 336-339-5842 or kbwac@northstate.net.
   
• Villains Club
  The Villains Booster Club at Bishop McGuinness Catholic High School, through student-athlete participation fees, event ticket sales and concessions, provides funding for all BMCHS athletic programs. The Villains Club was created so our families would not be overwhelmed with several school fundraisers, but have one encompassing campaign called the Villains Booster Club. The membership drive is the primary fundraiser sponsored by the Villains Club.  Revenues generated by the Villains Booster Club are used to cover costs associated with BMCHS sports, including uniform and equipment purchases, transportation, officials, scorekeepers, police, emergency personnel, and field maintenance. Additionally, funds raised through the Villains Club go to awards, sports programs, pocket schedules, mailings, improvements of the gym and other athletic facilities, and concession stand upgrades.
