Truly a great school with plenty of challenges academically, sports and clubs! There is always something exciting going on at Hendricken and my 8th grader was truly enjoying his first year until COVID 19 got in the way!! Happy he still has 4 years left to enjoy this fantastic experience at Hendricken, we are so glad we made the choice to enroll him there!!!

My son is in the 8 grade select program at BH and I couldn't be much happier and he loves it as well with so many activities to be involved in, he is constantly busy, if not with his studies, it is with sports or clubs!! I am telling him to enjoy his years at this fantastic school cause we all know these are the best years of a teenager's life and before you know it; it is in the rear-view mirror in a blink of an eye!!!

Great school rooted in faith, academics, and extracurricular activities that are not available in any of the Warwick schools. Teachers are there when you need them, will meet with boys before or after classes to help.The staff strives for all students to excel.

My son did not want to go to Hendricken. He was completely against it and wanted to go to his public High School. I insisted on Hendricken despite his protests and he just said to me the other day that he feels much better about Hendricken now and actually really likes it! It only took a couple of weeks and my son is now a huge fan of the school and has nothing but great things to say about it. He loves the teachers, the environment and the lack of distractions. I knew it was the right choice but he did make me a bit nervous. After seeing him enjoying the school and doing really well we are all confident that Hendricken was the right choice. Whew! What a great school! Go Hawks!

Hawks soar to amazing heights!From computer science competitions to athletic championships, the bar is set HIGH at Hendricken. With hard work, and tremendous supports (set in an environment of "Can-Do" expectations) BHHS students, of all capacities and all cultural/socioeconomic backgrounds, transcend their personal and academic goals. Highly recommend this school for all the young men in your lives...

I cannot say enough positive things about my son's experience at BHHS. We have watched him grow as a learner, a musician, and a young man of character and integrity. His interests were encouraged, guided and developed. His teachers are dedicated, strong in their content areas, and examples of what it means to live a life of purpose.We commute almost one hour each way and neither us as the drivers, nor him as the commuter, has regretted a day of it. I only wish there was an equivalent school for my daughters :(

My son is a junior, and loves Bishop Hendricken. He is involved in both the great sports and the Arts Academy. The Hendricken Arts Academy is a very special thing to get involved with. The orchestra and chorus (2 of the many Arts offerings), brought my son to Disney to perform with his chorus and his orchestra (which is so fun that young women and young men from other schools participate). Last year his chorus sang during masses in cathedrals in an unforgettable trip around Ireland. The boys form such a supportive brotherhood through all their activities. The academics are very competitive, and the boys are constantly encouraged to strive to be their personal best in all aspects of their lives. We only regret that high school here is only 4 years-we will miss BHHS!

I have been told by many people that my boys are 2 of the most polite young men they have ever met. They are challenged by the teachers and administrators to be the best men they can be, and it shows. The best academics, sports, and clubs in RI.

My son is a sophomore at BHHS and has had an excellent experience thus far. The all male environment allows them great focus on all the critical aspects of a boy's high school education - faith, academics, and extra curricular activities, whether that be their outstanding sports or theater/arts programs. My son is in all honors classes and has had excellent teachers that have always challenged, but have been available to provide extra help when needed. Our few small bumps along the way have been immediately addressed by his teachers and dedicated guidance counselor, and with his involvement. We couldn't be happier with the quality of the school, its administration and faculty - an outstanding Catholic education where they walk the walk.

After two years of being a Hendricken student, I can honestly say that it has been one of the most enjoyable experiences of my life. Every day I get to spend time with a great group of guys, learn from enthusiastic teachers, and compete with some of the best high school athletes in the state. Hendricken is the first school that has truly challenged me in order for me to be successful, which, in my opinion, has molded me into a much more responsible young adult. If you want your son to enjoy high school and to come out with multiple options for collegiate studies, this is the school for him.
