It is my great joy to greet you on behalf of our vibrant parish and school community and to invite you into the wonderful world of Catholic education that awaits your children here.

For over 165 years, Bishop Baraga has been a cornerstone of our Cheboygan community, nurturing young minds and hearts in an environment where faith and learning grow together. Our dedicated teachers and staff work tirelessly to provide not just academic excellence, but also the spiritual foundation that will guide your children throughout their lives.

Here at Bishop Baraga, we believe that each child is a precious gift from God, uniquely created with special talents and called to make a difference in the world. Our mission is to help them discover these gifts while growing in knowledge, wisdom, and love for Christ and others.

We are blessed to offer a curriculum that integrates Catholic values into every aspect of learning, from mathematics to English, from science to the arts. Our students don't just learn about their faith – they live it through daily prayer, weekly Mass, parish involvement, community service projects, and the countless small moments where they practice kindness, forgiveness, and compassion.

I encourage you to explore our website to learn more about our academic programs, our dedicated faculty, and the many opportunities for spiritual growth and community involvement. Whether you are considering enrollment for your child or simply want to learn more about our school family, know that you are always welcome here.

Our doors are always open, and I invite you to visit us, meet our wonderful staff, and experience firsthand the joy and warmth that define our school community. Together, we can help your child grow not only in knowledge but in faith, preparing them to be the leaders and servants our world needs.

May God bless you and your family abundantly.

In Christ,

Very Rev. Duane Wachowiak
