The “Obispo Chapter” is subject to the rules and regulations of the National Junior Honor Society, a program administered by the National Association of Secondary School Principals. Membership in the NJHS is based upon five qualities: scholarship, leadership, service, character and citizenship. Membership is a privilege, not a right. Academic excellence alone does not guarantee membership in the NJHS.

The “Obispos” participate in a number of interscholastic sports including basketball, volleyball, soccer, cross-country, and rugby. BBMCS participates in the Independent Interscholastic Athletic Association of Guam (IIAAG) and is subject to the guidelines and requirements of the IIAAG. To be eligible to participate in interscholastic sports, a student must have a valid physical exam and parent consent as well as a report card average (in the core subjects) of 78 or higher and must not have a single F or more than 2 Ds the quarter immediately prior to the respective sport season.
