In its 56th year, Bourgade Catholic High School has provided a college preparatory education to nearly 5,000 Phoenix-area students. The most recent graduates of BCHS had a 100% graduation rate with 99% of students attending colleges and universities across the country. The Class of 2018 also amassed over $9.1 million in merit scholarships and of these graduates, 51% were 1st generation college bound. 68% of our students qualify for Free and Reduced Lunch Programs while 90% of our students rely on levels of tuition assistance.

​Bourgade Catholic creates a community for academic and personal success. We could not do this without the support of community partners like you, as we continue the development of morally-centered lifelong learners, who are academically prepared, effective communicators, and citizens of a global world.

College Preparatory
​Elevating Students to the next level!

Bourgade Catholic High School stresses the importance of higher education. Upon graduation, students will possess the academic and life skills necessary to succeed at the academic institution of their choice. With the help of our tremendous College Guidance Department, the past three graduating classes have earned over $30 million in merit scholarship dollars while averaging a 99% college/university attendance rate. The 1% of our graduates that do not attend college immediately following high school, are proudly serving our country in the military. The College Counseling Department at Bourgade Catholic High School enables students to reach their full potential academically and personally by providing guidance and counseling in the areas of education, social skills, and life planning.
