Bishop Gorman High School opened its doors on September 7, 1954. Bishop Dwyer named it after his predecessor,Thomas Kiely Gorman, the first Catholic Bishop of the Reno-Las Vegas Diocese.[7]

Later on, an athletic center (referred to as the ATC) was donated for $18 million.[8]
The athletics program and teams of Bishop Gorman are known as the Gaels, and compete in the Southwest Division of the Sunset 5A Region. The Gaels have been described byUSA Today andSports Illustrated as being among the top thousand high school athletic programs in theUnited States[9][10], as well as ranked within the top ten forMaxPreps national high school football rankings[11].
In the summer of 2008, the Gaels baseball team, sponsored by American Legion Post 76 in Las Vegas, won the American Legion World Series, a first for any Nevada high school.[12] They ended up fielding 798 points total in football, more than any other high school in the nation for the 2009 season and ended up being ranked 46th in the nation by Rivals.[citation needed]
