History

St. Bernard's was established as an all-girls school in 1920 by the Sisters of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The school became coeducational in 1926. The school was designated as a regional diocesan high school in 1953.

In 1962 there were major additions to the school's athletic facilities at the Bernardian Bowl. And two years later the school itself was expanded. This included an entire new wing complete with a cafeteria, library, offices, and ten classrooms. The school's activity center was built in 1980 down the street near the Bernardian Bowl and its gymnasium seated 1000 people.

Today, St. Bernard's has just under 500 students attending from all over Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Its graduation and college acceptances rates are both in the 96-98% range.
