We are very proud of our athletics and are excited about the what our athletic programs offers our student athletes. Athletics is an integral part of the overall education process of our students. We believe that Athletics provide an opportunity to extend the learning process through competition.

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.
