Saint Bernard Mission School — Making a Difference in the Lives of Our Students

Saint Bernard Mission School is a part of the Catholic Indian Mission located in Fort Yates, ND. It is an officially sponsored
mission of the Bismarck Diocese.

Over the past five years, Saint Bernard Mission School graduates have achieved a 90% high school graduation rate.
(The Standing Rock Reservation graduation rate is 65% reservation-wide.)

Saint Bernard Mission School graduates normally make up approximately one half of the honor students at the Junior High
and High School. Our students generally make up 20 to 25% of a class.

In the past six years, the class valedictorians or salutatorians from area high schools have been Saint Bernard Mission School graduates.

Saint Bernard Mission School graduates are actively involved in school activities — sports teams, band, choir, student
leadership, etc.

Graduates of Saint Bernard Mission School continue to be contributing members of the community, employed in all areas
of service. Many of the leaders of the community are graduates of our school.
