St. Bernard's Elementary School, founded by the Sisters of the Presentation in 1886, for the purpose of educating all God's children, continues today as a Roman Catholic Parochial School carrying on the sisters' motto of "Deeds not Words". In a partnership among teachers, students and parents we pursue excellence in education and emphasize dignity, individuality, responsibility and respect. Together we strive to discover and strengthen our faith and gifts from God.
