Prior to the start of the 2022-23 school year, Mr. Jason Strniste started a podcast aimed at informing the parents of our newest students to the Bishop Guertin community.
As you begin your journey with us, we would like to introduce you to some key individuals here at BG and provide some perspectives to you about what your child may experience. We are introducing the New Parent Podcast which will include interviews with faculty, staff, and administrators here at Bishop Guertin. New episodes (about 30 minutes each) will be released throughout August and September.
