Our History
Rooted in Tradition. Focused on the Future.
Bishop Stang opened its doors in 1959 as the first coeducational Catholic secondary school in the Diocese of Fall River.
For more than six decades, the school has remained committed to strong moral and principled formation while helping young people pursue their dreams and ambitions. Our North Dartmouth campus brings together students from communities across southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island in a welcoming, family centered environment.
Today, Bishop Stang honors that foundation while investing in the people, programs, and spaces that will prepare future generations of Spartans to lead with purpose.
