Welcome to the 2011-2012 school year, our school's fifty-second. Since 1958, Bishop Thomas K. Gorman Catholic School (formerly Tyler Catholic High) now Bishop Thomas K. Gorman Regional Catholic School, has been serving the Catholic educational needs of the Tyler and Smith County people.

The education of students morally, ethically, and spiritually is the number one priority of Bishop T. K. Gorman Regional Catholic School. The faculty, staff, and school councils are all committed to making sure that the gospel message is alive at Gorman. Students are given an opportunity to grow and develop intellectually, physically, and emotionally as well as morally and spiritually. The ultimate process of learning and maturing, though, takes place within each student. It is the task of the educator as well as the parent to ensure and nurture this growth.

Bishop T. K. Gorman Regional Catholic School has many acclaims, including being named a Top 50 U.S. Catholic High School in 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009; the 2001 and 2002 TAPPS Overall 3A State Championship; the 1999, 2000, and 2002 State Championship in Academics as well as many other extra-curricular and sports accomplishments.

The school recognizes the need for order and discipline in the formation of responsible Christians; therefore, policies and rules have been established to create an atmosphere of respect for all members of the Gorman community.

A high value is placed on self-direction, personal responsibility, and self-discipline as a means for developing the self. All members of the Bishop T. K. Gorman Regional School community are expected to reflect the ideals and standards of the school, both on and off campus.

God bless you in the year.

Sincerely,

James P. Franz
Principal
