Saint Bede is a good school with amazing faculty and staff. The school culture and spirit is the best there is for a high school. The school culture is what makes the alumni come back for the homecoming football game and tailgate.

There are many opportunities for students at this school with the unique clubs and the aggressive academics. I would like to see every student treated as equals though. Many students are favored and given special treatment while others are looked over.
5/7/2020
Because of Saint Bede and the activities they offer, I have grown to be confident and independent. There are so many opportunities to get involved and find activities that interest you. The teachers always put their students as their top priority. The courses can be challenging yet teachers are always open to helping students. The school is rich in school spirit and it offers a family sentiment.

Everyone at St Bede was very nice. The teachers will help if they see you need it, the students are friendly and they really push community service hours which is a good way to get out and do things. I really liked being a part of the St. Bede family.

terrible. I speak from experience and I haven't been here my full 4 years yet. The classrooms are falling apart, there is no security. Almost every classroom is infested with wasps in the warm months and no one does anything about it. I absolutely despise this school and cannot wait to finish this y...

I believe that the time my son spent at St. Bede has helped him develop into a more grounded and giving individual who continues to put others and their needs before his. This school did more than give him an education, it gave him an important piece of who he is.
