To offer our community a non-denominational "school of excellence" providing a Biblically based education.

The educational experience at BCHS will seek to develop each student's mind, body and spirit to his/her fullest potential through challenging course work, state of the art technology, visual and performing arts, competitive athletics, and spiritual training by a select group of Christian teachers and coaches.

Students who attend BCHS will be encouraged to become successful Christ-centered citizens through the study and application of God's Word.

Garces Memorial is an academically challenging, college preparatory, co-educational Catholic high school, founded in 1947 by the Christian Brothers and Dominican Sisters of St. Thomas Aquinas.

They are successful and valuable members of their communities spanning across the United States and abroad as leaders in their faith, in their chosen professions, and in their commitment to serve others.
