Blessed sacrament school to open a high school in fall 2027!
Here is a Letter Sent by Mrs. Gomez on April 26, 2026: This year, BSS commemorated its 90th anniversary, and as of today, we proudly have 300 students enrolled. This is a remarkable accomplishment, especially considering that in 2012, our student body consisted of only 120 individuals. Since then, our enrollment has surged by 150%. We offer double classes for every grade level, with the exception of the 4th grade, which boasts a robust enrollment of 19 students.
This year marks the largest graduating class in BSS history, comprising 34 students. Many of these students have gained acceptance into the IB program at Williams, Cristo Rey in Durham, Bishop McGuinness, Precollegiate Academy at Graham High School, and Early College.
Two years ago, in response to the growing number of middle school students, the previous school building at 400 West Davis underwent renovations, resulting in the establishment of two campuses: Elementary and Middle School!
What does this signify for your parish school? Our enrollment continues to rise; we are recognized as a certified STEM school, equipped with two of the most advanced SMART Labs in the nation, featuring 3-D printers, drones, Nomad C and C engravers, a small green screen, and video editing software. This allows students to explore, plan, execute, reflect, and share their projects. They are receiving a faith-based education that provides a strong foundation to tackle the challenges of high school and beyond.
After thorough deliberation and discussions with Father Vincent, Bishop Zarama, and Superintendent Eureste, BSS has resolved to embark on a new strategic path in light of its recent achievements. It is with great enthusiasm and joy that we announce that in August 2027, Blessed Sacrament School will commence the school year not only with the elementary and middle school but also with the introduction of a 9th-grade class, marking the beginning of our journey towards establishing a Catholic High School in Alamance County.
We kindly request your support and prayers as we undertake this initiative.
