Foreign Exchange Student Hosting
BMCHS is in need of host families for foreign exchange students! We have quite a few students who are interested in attending our school and need a place to temporarily call their home. All that is required of you as a host family is a safe, caring home with a private or shared bedroom, 3 meals a day, and local transportation. Here are a couple of students who are looking!

Lisa is a 15-year-old from Germany. She loves to dance, read and watch movies. She has never been the US but has had big dreams to do so since she was a little girl.

John, also 15, is from Spain! He’s extremely active – he loves tennis, cycling and hiking, just to name a few. He also loves painting and writing in his spare time. He is interested in coming to the US to learn about the culture and is very excited to share his Spanish and European culture with you!

If you are interested in hosting a student, please contact Katie Hurst at Katie.Hurst@bishopmanogue.org, or call her at (775) 336-6026. You may also visit the exchange program website here
