Mission & History

In 2007, Mr. Tom Golisano made a transformative investment in our school that significantly enhanced technology for both teachers and students. His generosity enabled us to provide each student with a laptop, establish a robust wireless network, and introduce digital projection systems, video conferencing tools, and interactive whiteboards. Additionally, Mr. Golisano's support led to curriculum enhancements, including introducing business studies programs.

His commitment to our school continued in 2013 with further investments in our building and grounds, resulting in a name change to Bishop Kearney / A Golisano Education Partner. Mr. Golisano's dedication to our Catholic values and his pursuit of excellence have had a profound and lasting impact on our community. Thanks to his unwavering support, we have enriched our programs, nurtured our students, and created an environment where they can thrive. We are deeply grateful for his continued contributions, which empower the next generation of leaders.

Mr. Golisano—an entrepreneur, philanthropist, and civic leader—founded Paychex, Inc., the nation's largest human resource company for small to medium-sized businesses. His philanthropic efforts extend to hospitals, including three children's hospitals that bear his name and numerous educational institutions, including Bishop Kearney High School.
