Statement regarding the situation at Bishop Foley High School

A letter was mailed Tuesday to parents of students at Bishop Foley High School in Madison Heights, indicating that the school had received allegations of misconduct against a Bishop Foley staff member involving a student. The allegations were immediately reported to law enforcement authorities. The staff member allegedly involved is no longer at Bishop Foley High School.

Because the matter has been turned over to law enforcement authorities, the school and the archdiocese are unable to give any further details. We will continue to cooperate with law enforcement on the matter.

Providing a safe, Christian environment for students is at the very core of what it means to be a Catholic school. Whatever the details or outcome, such allegations are disconcerting and are treated with the utmost seriousness.
