Student Support Services
Student Support Services at Bishop Kelly High School provides students with the support they need to succeed academically by working closely with teachers, counselors, and families. In addition to academic excellence, we also aim to foster both self-confidence and self-advocacy inside and outside of the classroom with the vision and hope that these soft skills will transfer into post-secondary life. At Bishop Kelly we believe that every student is a unique gift from God with individual strengths and challenges and that each one brings something meaningful to our community.

Jen Kurdy, Student Support Director and Bishop Kelly alumna, has served both stateside and internationally at a variety of private and public schools. Her extensive experience spans traditional Special Education settings as well as the humanities, equipping her to provide effective, student-centered strategies across English, science, and social studies.
