When choosing a high school, we recommend visiting for a day. The shadow program will give you the opportunity to experience life at Bishop DuBourg High School. A visit can be very important in helping you determine which school is right for you.
Eighth graders may visit in the fall and spring. Seventh graders may visit in the spring. Transfer students are welcome to come all year round.
What do I wear?
We ask that all visitors comply with our dress code. Visitors may wear khakis and a polo or their current school uniform.
Do I need to bring anything?
You do not need to bring anything with you when you come to visit because lunch is on us!
Who will I be shadowing?
Visitors will be paired up with a current sophomore or junior. You will go to their classes and activities that they have scheduled for the day. We also do our best to match you with a student who has similar interests.
