William Bishop wanted Englewood students to be all they could be, according to his son, Ned Bishop.
Bishop served as superintendent for Englewood Schools from 1954 up until his death in 1968, and he oversaw the building of North School in 1956 that would later be renamed Bishop Elementary School in 1972. He worked hard to make sure Englewood Schools was in its own class in the educational field, and he would have been proud to see what the new Bishop Elementary building looks
like, Ned said. Englewood residents gathered at the new Bishop Elementary at 3100 S. Elati St. on Jan. 7 to see the school’s new building. The $19 million building is complete and is the last of five new buildings in Englewood Schools to be completed. Students started class in the new building on Jan. 8. “(Bishop) would be elated, but more than anything, (he would be excited
to see) the change that we see in the community from when he first came to Englewood and what it is today. He was always considered a man of the people, and this would be something that would make him excited,” said Ned. “He would celebrate the new things that are going to be offered to these kids.” SEE BISHOP, P11
