Bishop Dunne Catholic School is a college preparatory middle and high school located in the Oak Cliff area of Dallas, Texas (U.S.). In 2004, it was awarded the National Blue Ribbon School Lighthouse Award in regards for its continued academic excellence and dedication to the students of southern Dallas. It is the only Catholic school with grades 6 through 12 to hold an exemplary accreditation rating from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) [6] and by the Texas Catholic Conference Education Department (TCCED).
In 2013, Bishop Dunne Catholic School received a $6 million grant from Bishop Kevin Farrell. The school has used this money to renovate infrastructure including electrical, cabling, and wiring upgrades; a completely new HVAC system; and a sprinkler system.
Classrooms have been renovated with technology teaching walls, LEEDS environmental and acoustical standards, and new ceilings and flooring. The front office areas have also been completed. The auditorium and chapel have been re-modeled.
The classrooms were completed to begin the 2013-2014 school year while the auditorium and chapel are being worked on during the school year.
Bishop Dunne is designed in a three pillar format. These compose the four main hallways of the campus. Within the school are three courtyards, two of which have been dedicated. The Vincent Langbein Memorial Garden and the Father Tim Gollob Garden Sanctuary were named after previous employees for their support and investment of the school. These gardens, which have been xeriscaped to minimize the carbon footprint of the school, function as a teaching tool for biology classes, a place of solitude for reflection, and as a patio for lunch.
In the center of the campus is the Chapel where students may go to for monthly confession. Also, theology classes hold weekly rosaries, reflections on bible readings, and solemn prayer.
The gymnasium has undergone renovations within the recent years. The improvements include professional grade wood flooring, heating and air conditioning, and bleachers. In conjunction with these additions the Orender Field House was constructed. This added a dance room, an additional weight and training room, and a locker room.
On campus, there are three fields that are utilized by Bishop Dunne's sports teams. Directly behind the school is the Earl Hayes Stadium. This is where the football, soccer, and track and field teams have their games. Adjacent to the stadium is the Steve Macko Baseball Field and the softball field next to it.
Bishop Dunne has won state championships in the following sports: [7]
