About Saint Bernadette School
St. Bernadette Catholic School was built in 1965 and is surrounded by six acres of green space. We are a Preschool through 8th grade program, and an integral part of the St. Bernadette Parish community. We have a strong faith-based tradition which began with the Franciscan Sisters of Stella Niagara, NY — a tradition we continue today.

St. Bernadette Catholic School strives to be child and family centered.

Our Students
Our students put the buzzzzzzz in St. B's!!
They are full of energy and laughter; are dedicated and intelligent. Our students are engaged. They want to come to school, and actively participate in learning. They feel safe. They make life-long friends here. Our students know that their parents partner with teachers to support their learning, and they talk with their parents about their experiences at school. Our students are prepared to attend the schools of their choice. They become doctors, teachers, West Point Cadets, play the trumpet in the marching band or develop their own business.
Our students know that we want them to succeed.
