Class of 2017
On May 21, 2017, the Bishop Gorman High School community held its 60th Commencement Ceremony at the Thomas & Mack Center and bid farewell to the 345 members of the Class of 2017. The graduates were joined in their procession by the school’s “Golden Graduates” members of the Class of 1967, celebrating their 50th high school reunion. Friends and family members in attendance were addressed by Valedictorian, Madeline Hong, and by commencement speaker, Rev. Thomas von Behren, C.S.V., Provincial Superior, Clerics of Saint Viator. Most Rev. Joseph A. Pepe, D.D., J.C.D., Bishop of the Diocese of Las Vegas, offered the invocation and, along with Rev. William Kenny, Chaplain of Bishop Gorman High School and Pastor of Holy Spirit Catholic Church, presented the diplomas to the graduates. The commencement ceremony capped off two weeks of events in honor of the graduates which started on Friday, May 5, with the traditional senior barbeque. On Tuesday, May 16, Salutatorian Ashleigh Hookano, addressed her peers at the Senior Academic Awards presentation. The Baccalaureate Mass was held at the Shrine of the Holy Redeemer on Thursday, May 18, 2017.

future DOCT RS in the field This past April, BGHS teacher and Medical Society moderator, Mrs. Truitt, took several students to experience Discover Medicine Rounds at Roseman University of Health Sciences. Groups of students were assigned a “patient” and worked alongside a physician. They had to determine the diagnosis, and present their findings from a medical specialist’s perspective. This unique experience gave the students a real understanding of the medical field. At the end, participants were acknowledged during an award presentation.
Out of 200 entries from high schools across the Las Vegas valley, two of Bishop Gorman’s AP Physics1 students were Finalists in the Cox Stars of Science Contest. Trevor Papock ’18 and Jillian Briare ’18 along with their parents and BGHS Physics teacher, Dr. Hancock, went to the Cashman Center on Saturday, May 6, for the awards ceremony. Trevor Papock won 2nd Prize which includes $500 for the student, $500 for the Science Department, and $500 for his teacher, Dr. Hancock.
Students who participated were:
Jillian Briare won 3rd prize, $250 for herself, $250 for the Science Department, and $250 for her teacher, Dr. Hancock. This makes five years in a row where Gorman Physics students have won prizes in this competition. Great job GAELS!

Counselor’s Corner ATTENTION JUNIORS: After attending the National Association
of College Admission Counselors Conference, it became obvious that an Application Camp would be beneficial to our Rising Seniors as they begin the college application process. This process is often the most stressful part of the senior year experience. The goal is for the Application Camp to help lower the stress of finding the right fit and meeting deadlines. By the end of our session, every senior who participates will have a complete Common Application (except for Essay), a complete academic and activities resume, a better understanding of the college essay, and a prioritized game plan for applying to college. The dates were chosen based on the fact that the Common Application is not available until August 1st. There is NO cost for the camp. Will this camp be successful for our students? Last year we had our first Camp and 166 rising seniors took advantage of the camp. Their feedback was very positive and they were relieved to have the application basically finished. Competition for admissions and scholarships is fierce, and applications need to be impeccable. Essays need to show personality and stand-out in a stack of hundreds or even thousands. This camp will be a step in the right direction to give our students that edge. Date: August 8 (A-D) August 10 (L-Q)
August 9 (E-K) August 11 (R-Z)
