Bishop Kelly High School School Profile
Academic Excellence ∙ Moral Leadership ∙ Social Responsibility
LOCATION, FACILITY AND COMMUNITY PROFILE
Bishop Kelly High School is centrally located on the west side of Boise, Idaho’s capital city. Boise is the largest metropolitan area in the state, with a population base of approximately 400,000 in Ada County. Boise is home to many high-tech industries and other diverse business opportunities. Bishop Kelly is situated on 70 acres near I-84 and Franklin Road. The 81,350 square-foot facility, built in 1964, was expanded in 1995 to include four science classrooms, four multipurpose rooms and additional cafeteria space. A new gymnasium and four new classrooms were completed in the fall of 2000. In the fall of 2005, a Strategic Plan was implemented, focusing on making improvements in all areas of Bishop Kelly. The Capital Campaign, which began through this Strategic Plan, created funding for recent and future growth and improvement to our physical structure. In the summer of 2007, a 2.2 million dollar renovation allowed for updating and improvements in 75,000 square feet of academic space. Future renovations are planned for 2008 through 2010.
