Background

edit

St. Bernard's was established in 1912 by the Sisters of St. Joseph, which was called Nazareth Academy at that time. St. Bernard’s Elementary was built in 1949 at 222 Dollison Street, then later the Sisters opened St. Bernard's High school in 1954. In 1963 a new elementary school was opened at 115 Henderson Street while the old elementary school at 222 Dollison Street was used for High School students. In 1964 the Sisters released ownership of the schools to the Diocese of Santa Rosa. In July 1999, the elementary and high schools merged together to become St. Bernard's Catholic School. In September 2000, the Bishop of the Diocese of Santa Rosa permitted independence to the school. In 2003, the school started to collaborate with a Korean academy to dorm international students from Korea. After a period of time, the school began to dorm other international students from other places oversea as well. St. Bernard's currently offers a preschool, junior and senior high.
