Bishop McLaughlin Catholic High School (BMCHS)[1] is a private high school located in northern Pasco County, not far from Spring Hill, in the Diocese of St. Petersburg.

General Information

Bishop McLaughlin Catholic High School was established in 2003. It is named after Charles Borromeo McLaughlin, the first Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of St. Petersburg. An avid pilot, Bishop McLaughlin would meet the pastoral demands of a large diocese by flying from event to event in order to keep pace with his schedule. This fast-paced ministry affectionately earned him the nickname of "Hurricane Charlie." Therefore, BMCHS is the home of the "Hurricanes."

The school's inaugural principal was Jane Moerschbacher, who held the position until she retired in 2007. The school's current principal is Camille Jowanna, who, as a 7th grader, received the Sacrament of Confirmation from the school's namesake, Bishop McLaughlin.

BMCHS offers various forms of financial assistance, such as tuition assistance from the Diocese of St. Petersburg, the Mary C. Forbes Foundation, the Catholic Foundation, Step Up For Students and the McKay Scholarship.[6]
