Bergan Catholic was instrumental in the formation of me as a capable, responsible & successful adult. I grew in my faith life while a student a Bergan Catholic. I was prepared for college due to the rigorous curriculum offered at the school. I was allowed to attend class retreats and service projects that allowed me to grow as an individual while building lifelong relationships with my classmates that still last into my adult life. Bergan Catholic has a tradition-rich activities program that allowed me to compete at a high level and gain exposure to college coaches who recruited me to participate in intercollegiate sports after high school. The staff members truly care about the students and go above and beyond to make sure that the students are successful in their academic endeavors. These staff members become like family members who support you long after you graduate from Bergan Catholic. They even inspired me to become an educator myself. Bergan is a top-notch education!
