Scoir
Bishop Chatard High School uses a college guidance management system called Scoir (pronounced "score").
This online career and college exploration software is designed to break down the college admissions and exploration process into manageable steps that will help you evaluate important questions such as “Can I get in?, Will I fit in?, and Can I afford it?” one step, one day at a time. It's very helpful for students and parents during the college search and selection process and can also be used as a digital filing cabinet during the application process. College recommendations and transcripts are requested through SCOIR.
SCOIR is how seniors communicate with the Counseling Department about transcripts, letters of recommendation, etc. and how BCHS sends these to the colleges chosen!
Go To Scoir
Students should have the Scoir App on their iPads so they are able to receive communications from the system - our email settings prevent communications from Scoir otherwise. After a student is registered in the system, click on the Google icon on the Scoir login page, to login with your BCHS Google account.
