“Bishop Watterson gave me access to an excellent program that helped me grow not only as a player, but as a person. I was given many of the resources I needed to succeed and was pushed to the best of my ability. I knew God had a plan for me to play this sport I love, so I was able to play to the best of my ability through God’s strength.” – Maddy Bellisari

“Bishop Watterson was vital in enabling me to foster and develop my skills and personality as a whole. Bishop Watterson aided in teaching me what it means to work hard for goals. Each and every day, I was surrounded by an encouraging, loving community which offered me an infinite supply of support. Both on and off the cross country course, Bishop Watterson truly taught me that with hard work, anything is possible.” – Cristian Kubatko

“Bishop Watterson has provided me with an environment that has enabled me to succeed both athletically and academically. The community is truly remarkable and uplifting. My teachers, coaches, and teammates have all been extremely supportive over the past four years and have taught me to always strive to do my best.” –Amelia Moreland

“The demanding academics at Bishop Watterson pushed me to become a better student, while playing multiple sports on top of that taught me time management and balancing priorities. Being at Watterson provided me the environment to grow as a student athlete and prepare for the next level. Whenever in sports I faced a setback or an injury, I always had faith that the Lord will heal me, because nothing is impossible with God.” – Cole Graney

“I have been surrounded by supportive teachers, coaches, classmates and teammates, all of whom have pushed me to be my best. The Watterson environment is elite, and one can find many dedicated students and athletes. More importantly, however, is that Watterson teaches its students to treat one another with kindness and respect. Catholic teaching reminds you to love your neighbor as yourself and treat everyone how you would want to be treated.” –Max Latshaw

“Bishop Watterson has helped me grow in the classroom tremendously. Without that I would not be able to attend John Carroll. I have also learned discipline, time management, and how to speak to adults properly. With all of this happening it has made me feel ready to attend college and play baseball at the next level.” –Matthew Monesi
