Faith, Service, and Lifelong Learning
At St. Bernard’s High School, faith and service form the foundation of our mission: to educate students who grow as compassionate, courageous, and thoughtful leaders.
Our Campus Ministry offers students opportunities for prayer, reflection, retreats, and service, helping them meet the challenges of the world with empathy, integrity, and respect for others.
Welcoming Students of All Faiths
All students seeking growth—morally, intellectually, socially, and spiritually—are welcome. About 66% of our community are practicing Catholics but many other students come from different faith traditions or are non-religious. Everyone is invited to participate in and respectfully observe Catholic traditions.Spiritual Life
Students and staff attend Mass at least monthly and on holy days of obligation. Additional opportunities include prayer services, pastoral counseling, and annual grade-level retreats that focus on personal growth, service, leadership, and preparing to make a difference in the wider world.

Haitian Outreach Sponsorship
Through these experiences, students develop a lifelong commitment to compassion, leadership, and meaningful action in their communities.
"This year, I led The Haitian Outreach Program at our school. Our mission is to collect school supplies and tuition money to give to Haitian children to help get them out of poverty. I was given the opportunity to bring the school together and ask for help for this very important project. The next day, our donation boxes were full of pencils, pens, and backpacks! We also held an out-of-uniform day for $3 per student. The money raised will sponsor a child for one year of schooling. The students rallied and enthusiastically participated. We succeeded in sending Flerdy, our Haitian adopted student, to school for another year!" - STB Senior
