Who We Are
Our Vision

To form bold disciples of Christ who pursue academic excellence, serve others with joy, and lead lives of faith, purpose, and lifelong learning.

Our Mission

Because God has made us, saved us, and called us to eternity, Bishop Neumann will foster high expectations in a person’s spiritual, intellectual, physical, and social life.

Our Motto

“Passion of Christ, strengthen me.”

Our History

Founded in 1964 and supported by eleven parishes, Bishop Neumann serves students from Saunders County and surrounding communities in grades 7 through 12. Named after St. John Neumann, a champion of Catholic education who helped establish the parochial school system in the United States, the school proudly carries forward his mission today. Bishop Neumann delivers a faith-first education that forms the whole person, mind, body, and spirit, preparing students to lead lives of purpose, service, and integrity. Through an academic program that blends college preparatory and general secondary coursework, students are equipped to succeed in post-secondary education, military service, the workforce, or religious life. 

Community System

At Bishop Neumann, every student belongs to something bigger than themselves. Our Community System is intentionally designed to foster authentic relationships, strengthen faith, and develop leaders rooted in Jesus Christ.

Students meet daily in House and weekly in Community, remaining with the same group for all six years of junior high and high school. Through prayer, mentorship, service, friendly competition, and weekly all-school Mass, students build lasting friendships.

Each Community is named after a saint and inspired by that saint’s example of courageous faith. Throughout the year, Communities compete for the Cavalier Cup, celebrate together, and encourage one another to become the best version of themselves.

With more than 40 leadership opportunities and dedicated leadership formation for upperclassmen, the Community System empowers every student to serve others, lead with confidence, and live their faith every day.
“I do count myself singularly blessed to have had the opportunity of a Catholic High School Education at Bishop Neumann. One of the lifelong blessings for me has been the association that I had as a young man with numerous priests of the Diocese… This high school association with priests deepened my love for the priesthood, strengthened my faith commitment and was an excellent foundation for my future life as a seminarian, as a priest and now as Bishop.”
Bishop Robert VasaClass of 1968
"I loved Bishop Neumann because I was able to live an authentically Catholic life through high school with peers and teachers that supported me during my time there."

"From a coaches perspective I always told my players and runners that they should appreciate the fact that they were here at Bishop Neumann-it gave them an opportunity to participate- an opportunity they might not have in a bigger school! From my own perspective- it always gave me the chance to develop close relationships with my players and students!"
Paul JohnsonFormer Staff
“After graduating high school, I went on to study with students from across the country and from countries throughout the world. In my interactions with these students it has become very clear to me that not everyone has been so blessed with such a good high school experience. At Neumann I had good teachers who cared for me, prepared me for success in college, formed me to be successful in life, and deepened my faith.”
Fr. Steve SnitilyClass of 2001
"Bishop Neumann wasn’t just a place to learn; it felt like a family. The teachers truly cared, everyone looked out for one another, and the faith-filled atmosphere made it feel like home. Neumann was where I belonged, and I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.."
Bridget WhitneyClass of 2025
"St. Wenceslaus & Neumann were a big part of who I am today. They taught me to love God and help others. I am so thankful for the great teachers and Priests that put up with me every day. I have been blessed to be a part of two New Mexico Mission trips. I am amazed about the number of students attending the mission trips and have formed a special bond with many of them. They now call me Grandpa John. I am so blessed to have a small part in their lives."
John EllClass of 1966
“The education I received at Neumann High School provided a strong foundation for me as a disciple and follower of Christ. Neumann has an emphasis on the sacramental life (weekly Mass and frequent confessions) as well as retreat, religion classes and many other opportunities to grow in relationship with Jesus. The presence of priests and sisters made faith real for me, not to mention the fact that academically, I was extremely well prepared for higher education.”
Becky Mach DeaversClass of 2001
"I'm very grateful for the Catholic education I received at BNHS. I truly appreciate all of the sacrifices and extra efforts that the BN teachers, coaches, staff, Priest, and religious sisters made for me (and so many others) to ensure that we were prepared to live out our faith and spread the light of Christ to all those we encounter."
Haley (Thiele) HittnerClass of 2015
"Through their learning and experiences, my children have re-evangelized me and inspired me to take my faith more seriously."
