Bishop Garrigan High School is an all-boys high school, which has maroon and gold as the official colors for the required school uniform. The school makes its only appearance in the online book.

During church, Frank Heffley walks into his boss, Mr. Swann, who praised the school and telling him that his son attends there, brewing Frank's interest in sending Greg there.

Greg overhears his father considering to enroll him into Bishop Garrigan again. He hopes being a goalie on the soccer team could get him out of Bishop Garrigan, as they don't have a soccer team.

But after being mocked by his coworkers for his son's "Ants in his pants" incident, Frank leaves a message to the admissions department for Bishop Garrigan High School but wasn't returned due to the Thanksgiving holiday. Greg would later find out which tampered his holiday.

Finally, the Admission Department return a voicemail for Frank but it was deleted by Greg before Frank can get to it.

On Christmas, Greg receives only maroon and gold shirts, the uniform colors of Bishop Garrigan. It was not until after Joe Heffley said something that made Greg realized that Ann and Frank are planning to send him there and had told the entire family. But Garrigan High School slips out of Greg's mind when he sees Uncle Freddie.

Greg plans to train himself to jump super high in preparation for Bishop Garrigan's bullies.

The school comes back up again when Greg finds a flyer on a table by Frank's bed. Greg realizes he needs to take immediate action to change Frank's mind before open house night since Garrigan allows 7th-grade enrollments if the student participates in physical activities. But his plans are foiled when his parents drop him off at Grandpa Heffley's apartment and isn't able to execute his plans on the ride home because of the stomach cramps he got from eating expired candy.

Greg had ran out of time and nothing can change Frank's decision which is further evident when he found out many important people attended the school from a packet. But Frank would end up dropping Greg after Bill Walter revealed that he was a former student.

Trivia

• Since Bishop Garrigan High School is mentioned to be a boys-only school and is also said to have a required uniform policy (of which the colors are maroon and gold), it's probably safe to assume that it's a private school—even nowadays, most private schools still have required uniform policies and quite a few private schools also still only enroll male or female students.
• There is an actual school called Bishop Garrigan High School—it's located in Algona, Iowa.
  • Unlike the school of the same name in the online version of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, the real-life Bishop Garrigan High School is a coed-school (meaning they have both boys and girls) and it also covers middle school in addition to high school.
    • The real-life Bishop Garrigan High School is also a religious private school (specifically Roman Catholic), but it's also possible that the Bishop Garrigan High School in the online version is also a religious private school.
    • Jeff Kinney attended a school in Maryland named Bishop McNamara High School.
