About the School

  • Established in the Dominican tradition in 1962, St. Bernadette School primarily serves Catholics and non-Catholics who embrace our beliefs.
  • We develop in each child a feeling of self worth and respect for others.
  • By integrating Catholic faith into their daily lives, we strive to educate the whole child through a variety of progressive programs promoting academic excellence, spiritual growth, and service to our community.
  • St. Bernadette Soubirous School continues to build on the foundations laid by the Dominican sisters 45 years ago.
  • The Body of Christ is ministered to in the classrooms, on the playground, and in the hearts of all the children and staff who enter the doors of St. Bernadette.
  • As St. Bernadette grew the need arose for the formation of the St. Bernadette School Board, which began meeting in 1968.
  • Soon after enrollment declined and the school needed qualified teachers.
  • The Dominican Sisters recommended closing the school.
  • However, the parents, school board, and Sisters successfully rallied to keep the school open.
  • After this achievement, the curriculum expanded to include a kindergarten class.
  • In 1970 the school received state approval and enrollment soared to 300 students.
