Bishop BradyHigh School

As parents, we are given opportunities to provide surety to our children; one of these instances is their education, but not just a school, a great academic and moral environment. The most important feature of Brady is that “it’s actually OK to want to be at school and cool to learn as much as you can.” We are thrilled to be a part of the Bishop Brady family.

For me, the Advisor system was one of the things that most helped me through my Freshmen year. It’s great to get to know teachers personally and to develop a friendly relationship with them. And, it’s so valuable knowing that there is always at least one teacher or administrator whose door is always open, who is always willing to help, and who will look out for you.

Student Testimonial

Our son was accepted into his top two college choices and received merit scholarships from both. We did not even need to apply for these awards, and they were both worth more over four years than we have paid for Catholic education for the past 13 years!

He is involved in Math Team, Quiz Bowl, National Honor Society, Briareus Society, basketball, cross country, Granite State

Jenn Parsons, ‘08Jenn was always a quiet leader, behind the scenes, but always there when her services were needed, so it’s not surprising that she would be appointed to West Point. Jenn has declared mechanical engineering as her major with an aeronautical engineering track. She has played on West Point’s Division I softball team.

Challenge, Spanish Club, the school newspa-per, and track, to name a few. He is drawn to Math and Science and plans on pursuing some-thing in either science or medicine. He plans on applying to Stanford University, Boston College, Santa Clara University, Northwestern University, and Northeastern University. This is just another shining example of the quality students we are enrolling!

She recently took on the role of platoon sergeant, leading 30 cadets in the summer school program. She is headed to South Korea to shadow an actual Army platoon leader in the Air Defense Artillery branch. She plans to branch aviation and attend two years of flight school. The future certainly looks bright for Jenn!

Our teachers are ever-present guides in the learning process. As expert educators,advisors and athletic coaches, they are accessible to students throughout the day. Our teachers create an adult culture where students feel safe to grow spiritually and emotionally. Trust develops and the adventure begins: teachers and students learn spontaneously from one another, examining and exploring the full richness and complexity of a subject or idea.

Bishop Brady offers a challenging and traditional curriculum. We strive to understand and appreciate each student and his/her educational needs. One of our main educational goals is to have the student assume the responsibility for learning.
