On March 2, 2026, Dr. Gary Houchens, Board Chair of Chesterton Academy, joined The DeCesare Group Podcast to discuss the August launch of the Chesterton Academy of Bowling Green, a new Catholic high school designed to fill a 60-year void in local Catholic education. Starting with a small founding class of ninth and tenth graders at St. Joseph Church, the academy offers a classical, Latin-based curriculum deeply focused on rigorous academics, the liberal arts, and spiritual formation in the tradition of G.K. Chesterton. By providing an affordable, faith-based educational alternative, the school aims to meet the growing demand for diverse schooling options in the rapidly expanding South Central Kentucky region.
