Ted Torrance Memorial Field Dedication
On Friday, March 26th, Bishop Shanahan High School honored the legacy of Mr. Ted Torrance through the dedication of the Ted Torrance Memorial Field. The event was attended by Mr. Torrance's two sons and their families. We are grateful to Mr. Torrance for all he did for the BSHS community. No one has had a longer professional association with Bishop Shanahan High School than Mr. Ted Torrance, the first lay teacher in the school’s history. In the classroom, on the field, and beyond, Mr. Torrance was dedicated to his students and cared deeply about their formation and education. We are so grateful and he will be dearly missed! |
After graduating from Villanova University, Ted served with the U.S. Army in Japan. After serving, Ted joined the founding faculty of Bishop Shanahan, when the school first opened its doors in West Chester in 1957. Ted became the first department chair in social studies and his senior government class became a rite of passage for generations of Shanahan graduates. For the next fifty years, Ted was an integral part of the life of BSHS.
Outside of the classroom, Ted was involved with the school’s athletic program, and maintained that involvement through the years. He organized and coached the school’s first cross country team and went on to earn one of the most impressive records in the history of high school athletics in Chester County. For fourteen years, Ted served as the varsity boys’ baseball coach and also helped to coach football, basketball and track. Eventually, his interest in athletics led him to become a sportswriter for the Daily Local News. In 2011 Mr. Torrance was inducted into the Ches-Mont League Hall of Fame and in 2016 he was inducted into the Chester County Sports Hall of Fame.
Off the playing field, Ted gave his time to a broad range of student activities. One of these included the “Hillside Singers,” a folk group during the folk craze of the 1960’s, as well as advising the school’s mock trial team, and serving as one of the school’s earliest directors of development. For many years, Ted also joined other Shanahan teachers in leading student summer tours of Europe. All the while, Ted and his wife Marlene were raising a young family of two sons and a daughter, who themselves went on to become Shanahan graduates.
Ted Torrance retired from the classroom in 2007 after fifty years of uninterrupted and dedicated service. Retirement from the classroom did not bring to a close his loyalty, devotion or service to Bishop Shanahan, as Ted accepted the position of full-time Athletic Director. This commitment placed Ted in charge of almost 500 student athletes each season and 25 Varsity PIAA sports. Ted was the memory and link with the entire Bishop Shanahan High School community from September 1957 onward.
In 2004, Ted was a Shanahan Medal Award Recipient in recognition of his lifetime of service to Catholic Education. In 2008 he was a Golden Anniversary Gala Honoree. The Shanahan Community celebrated with Ted and his family 50 years of dedication to his students and his school! Everyone in Chester County knew and respected “Ted Torrance!”
Mr. Torrance was a man of few words, yet his daily, unwavering presence and his genuine love of all things green and white, all things Shanahan, spoke louder than any word or phrase.

STEM and TENS Device
During a discussion on prosthetics and bioengineering, BSHS STEM students asked how prosthetics can function. This led to further discussion about artificial limbs, robotic arms, and the use of electrical activity generated by the electromyographic signals in pectoral muscles to control motor systems. In this activity, students used muscle signals to control a TENS device (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator) in order to excite and contract the muscles of another student's hand and arm. |

Miami (OH) University
What makes Bishop Shanahan such a special place?
“The people that I was with there with, including the teachers. The memories I made there. I came in not knowing anyone because I went to public school up until high school. I came in and didn’t know anyone, and the friends I made, everyone accepted me like I was there my whole life. The teachers were very helpful with things. It was just a good vibe and good atmosphere there. I never felt like I didn’t fit in or belong there.”
Your fondest memories as a student-athlete Bishop Shanahan:
“My junior year when we won our first playoff game ever in football [BSHS 37, Upper Moreland 7 – 11/8/14). That probably has to be my No. 1 memory.”
How Bishop Shanahan prepared you for balancing academics and athletics at Miami (OH):
“They did a very good job. When I was at Bishop Shanahan, I felt like the coursework challenged me and prepared me for what I had to do for college. When I came to college, I never at any point never felt the work was too hard or stressful. The workload and the way the teachers went about giving us the workload and helping us at Bishop Shanahan really set me up for success. So once I got college, it felt like high school again but just new material.”
Assess your play as a rookie in the NFL with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2020:
"I thought I did a pretty good job. It was certainly an odd season, so the fact that I was even able to make the team without preseason games was a big accomplishment. But I wasn’t just satisfied with that. I wanted to contribute, be out there and play a lot. As the season went on, I just really kept my head down, kept thinking ‘what can I do to get better.’ My reps just started to go up and up, but even at that point I never felt complacent. I wanted to keep working on things. From an overall standpoint, I feel like it was a pretty good year, but there were some things I wanted to have back or get better at. But those are the things I’ll work on in the offseason. From a whole, I feel like a I did a pretty good job for my first year but I want to get better as the offseason goes on.”
Was there a point in your rookie season when you started to feel more comfortable and confident?
“I would probably say the Bengals game (Oct. 4). I was fortunate enough to make a tackle on my first play. That game really boosted my confidence. But I would say the first game I started (Oct. 18 vs. Detroit). My confidence rose, and I felt like I belonged and could make plays and contribute.
Your football offseason goals:
“Just to get bigger, faster stronger. Change my diet and my body in a better way. I want to re-watch some of the film and look at what I did right and what I did wrong. I trained in Indianapolis last spring with [former Colts defensive standout] Rob Mathis. So I’m going to go back there and work with him again because I feel like he did a really good job of preparing me for the season.”
Your offseason plans outside of football:
“With COVID it’s kind of hard, but I didn’t get to really see the city Jacksonville or the surrounding areas last year. So maybe take some road trips around Florida. Right now I am back home [in West Chester] enjoying some time with family.”
- Compiled 178 tackles, 16.5 sacks and 32.5 tackles for loss in 50 career games
- Earned first-team All-MAC honors in 2019 and second-team distinction in 2018
- Named the team’s Defensive MVP in 2019 as the Red Hawks won their first league title since 2010
- Majored in Sports Leadership & Management
- Signed a free agent contract following the 2020 NFL Draft
- Saw his first action on Oct. 4 versus Cincinnati; made his first start against Detroit (Oct. 18)
- Notched a season-high five tackles at Minnesota on Dec. 6
- Collected 31 tackles and recovered a fumble while starting nine games
- His play was lauded by Pro Football Focus as among the best for NFL Rookies
