Welcome From Bishop McNamara's Athletic Director

Athletics at Bishop McNamara Catholic High School attempts to cultivate teamwork, sportsmanship, self-discipline and resilience. We believe that the competitive and collaborative of a team setting is an important part of our great education tradition. Bishop Mac Catholic High School offers over 20 sports for boys and girls interested in participating.

Bishop Mac competes in catholic leagues and IHSA state competitions, where we have won several state championships and had many state tournament appearances in various sports  Our football program has received regional and national as well as our basketball programs.

Bishop Mac's coaching staff reflects our belief in the teacher-coach model. These men and women bring the same desire and positive support to their respective sports that they bring to the classroom.

Our students, once graduated leave to go on to college, inspired by their experiences in our programs and in the classroom.  Many of our athletes go on to participate in collegiate sports at many different collegian levels. Each year, Bishop McNamara Catholic students return after entering college  informing our staff, parents and other alumni how prepared they were for college both on the field and in the classroom. 

We hope that you enjoy your visit to our Athletics website and if you are interested in attending Bishop McNamara Catholic High School please feel free to contact us by clicking HERE


Our Philosophy

Bishop McNamara High School exists primarily to serve the Catholic Christian community of the Kankakee area, while welcoming students of all faiths. A strong sense of community based on Christian love, care, concern and sacrifice unites students, parents, alumni, faculty and administrators. Through a synthesis of faith, culture and life, students are challenged and empowered to commit themselves to sharing the Good News.

The climate of Bishop McNamara High School is warm, affirming and compassionate. The highly qualified and dedicated faculty and administration encourage students to seek the truth and to discover their unique potential. By fostering accountability and a sense of responsibility, teachers offer all students, with respect for their diverse intellectual abilities, the opportunity for self-awareness, moral growth and academic excellence. The college preparatory program emphasizes the ability to reason, to use critical judgment and to integrate ideas.

Bishop McNamara is committed to offering cultural, athletic and extra-curricular programs. The high degree of student and parent involvement is a McNamara tradition. Through the mutual commitment of school and home, McNamara students are formed to be prophetic witness of hope in the world.
