Bishop Feehan High School

What Bishop Feehan High School does

Bishop Feehan High School is a co-educational Roman Catholic college preparatory high school operating from a single campus at 70 Holcott Drive in Attleboro, Massachusetts. Founded in 1961 by the Sisters of Mercy and operated under the Roman Catholic Diocese of Fall River, the school enrolls 1,090 students in grades 9-12 with a 13:1 student-teacher ratio, an average class size of 18, and a 100% four-year college acceptance rate. Core academic offerings are supplemented by 28 interscholastic sports (775 student-athletes), 70+ clubs and activities, and specialized programs in concert band, theatre, and eSports, with physical assets including a 10,000 sq. ft. Innovation & Arts Center (IdeaLab, eSports facility, dedicated band/choir spaces) and a 1,200-seat Performing Arts Center, both completed in 2023.

The business model is a tuition-and-donation hybrid typical of independent Catholic secondary schools. Primary revenue comes from tuition ($16,250 for the 2026-27 academic year), with one in three students receiving financial aid and $1.5 million in tuition assistance awarded annually. Secondary revenue streams include recurring donations through the Shamrock Fund annual giving program and the Setting Our Hearts Gala (raising over $550,000 per year), plus episodic capital campaigns - most recently the $13.5 million Daring to Believe campaign completed in 2023. The customer base is approximately 1,090 tuition-paying families in southeastern Massachusetts and northern Rhode Island, sourced through Catholic parish feeder schools, public-school transfers, the Ravenna online admissions platform, and annual open houses.

Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer admissions, supported by organic social (Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram, LinkedIn), email newsletters (Feehan Flash), a video newsletter (The Spire), and event-based engagement (open houses, campus visits). The school operates as a nonprofit under the Diocese of Fall River, governed by a Board of Trustees, with executive leadership including President Tim Sullivan ('87 alumnus) and Principal Sean Kane. No technology products are sold externally; institutional technology is limited to standard educational platforms, plus portals, and a recently added robotics/eSports facility.
