Our eighth grade students are accepted to a variety of parochial and
public schools. It is never too early to begin thinking
of your child’s future! To assist you in this planning,
we include the following links to most common high schools our
students attend once leaving Saint Bridget School.
In addition
to checking the individual websites, the Archdiocese of Boston
website has a calendar of Open House dates for many schools.
