The St. Bernadette School Community has been a blessing to our entire family. My children are thriving academically while being challenged and held accountable. Every teacher in the school is there because they want to be there. It is incredible how everyone continues to go above and beyond offering after school clubs and activities. When you walk into the school you feel welcome and appreciated.
