Due to anticipated high demand, we encourage families to complete the enrollment process as early as possible to secure their child(ren)’s place. 

Enrollment is NOT guaranteed if the cumulative file has not been received and reviewed prior to registration and registration fee. Therefore a student could still be told by BHCS that we cannot meet their needs and serve them if adequate resources are not available for the student. Enrollment could still be denied after ORL is complete and the $100 fee has been paid. 

*Typical registration could take more than a week depending on circumstances, receipt of the cumulative file, and the $100 deposit. 

If you have questions, please contact our Enrollment Director, Laurie Dougherty, at laurie.dougherty@bishopheelan.org or 712-252-1350.
