Bishop Stang High School

What Bishop Stang High School does

Bishop Stang High School is a private, Catholic, college-preparatory secondary school founded in 1959 in North Dartmouth, Massachusetts, operating as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit under the Diocese of Fall River. It was the first coeducational Catholic secondary school in the Diocese, originally staffed by the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur and rooted in the charism of Saint Julie Billiart. The school serves approximately 500 students drawn from more than 30 towns across southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island, with the Class of 2026 producing 122 graduates and the Class of 2025 posting a 96% college attendance rate and $19.5 million in scholarships and grants.

The school delivers a college-preparatory academic program supplemented by specialized offerings: the Pathways Approach Program (in partnership with the S.E.A.L. Foundation) provides integrated support for students with learning differences at a $5,000 annual premium; the STEM Learning Program features newly renovated Biology, Chemistry, and Physics labs following ISTE technology standards; The Arts @ Bishop Stang spans performing, visual, and creative arts; and 46 athletic teams compete in MIAA and Catholic Central League competition. Spartan Global Academy, launched for 2025-2026, adds an international study-abroad academic credit component via EF Tours. Technology infrastructure is limited to commodity K-12 platforms (Edlio website, RenWeb/FACTS student information system), with no disclosed AI capabilities.

Revenue is generated primarily through tuition ($15,100 standard / $20,100 Pathways for 2026-2027), a $500 new student registration fee, transportation subscriptions ($450-$1,800 per year across three regional bus routes), and summer clinic fees ($200-$300 per program). Approximately 40% of the student body relies on financial aid, with nearly $1,000,000 disbursed annually from the Annual Fund, Maroon & Gray Soirée fundraiser, and donor contributions. Distribution is handled through a direct admissions office, nine partner Catholic elementary schools, and the Spartan Parent Association, while a 12,000+ alumni network is activated through Spartan Connect, Hall of Fame, and Bonitas Dei Society planned giving.
