WELCOME!
Come see what Saint Bonaventure High School is all about! We have outstanding academic and athletic programs that have helped students get accepted to top colleges and universities across the country. Our dedicated faculty and staff work tirelessly to see that our students are being prepared not just for getting into college, but succeeding in college. Special attention is given to be sure we are inspiring and empowering our young men and women to be contributing members of society, with faithful service to God and our country.
Here, you will find a wonderful student body that have created a sense of family and community. Here you will embark upon a new journey as you enroll in great courses and participate in competitive academic clubs, meaningful Christian service and higher learning through Catholic Education. Here you will find a home.
Our core values are: Living Faith, Engaging Hearts, Enlightening Minds, Achieving Excellence and Transforming Lives. These values are vital to every person who has experienced this high school as a student, as a member of our faculty or as a parent who sacrificed to send their sons and daughters here. It is because of these values that we believe in Catholic Education, spiritual development and social justice.
The education at Saint Bonaventure High School, in the spirit of our patron St. Bonaventure, works from a stance of accountability, transparency and simplicity. It promotes peacemaking and engages the work with an attitude of justice. It strives to repair God’s house through social responsibility.
It is a great time to become a Seraph! Come and experience a culture that is in constant pursuit of distinction in academics. Come and find people who manifest their core values through a life of citizenship and service. Come and find a community who strives for “Excellence in Everything”.
God Bless,

We have a long tradition of excellence; excellence that begins with our incoming freshmen class. As you prepare to take this very important step in your academic life, I would like to give you a few simple pieces of advice:
- Be Involved. High school is a phenomenal opportunity to discover more about who you are and explore who you aspire to be. Enrich your experience by taking advantage of the many opportunities that SBHS has to offer. Become involved in clubs, athletics, and community service projects. These four years are the time to your time to prepare, inquire, contemplate and thrive.
- Be Kind. In a few short months, the new graduating class will be a cohesive family. Within this family, you will find lifelong friends. Together, you will work hard in your classes, enjoy time engaging in extra-curricular activities and grow into young adults. These relationships are special. Treat each other kindly and support each other through this exciting time. Remember to see Christ in your classmates.
- Be Proud. In coming to Saint Bonaventure High School, you are entering a premier academic institution. Our graduates have gone on to do great things. Be proud to be a Seraph. We are proud to have you as part of our community.
In this time of transition, I would like to assure you that we have a dedicated and very talented staff-family ready to assist you with all aspects of school life, including social issues, class scheduling, and college and career planning. They, and your teachers, will be valuable assets to you as you navigate high school.
