• Over the past five years, St. Bernard Mission School graduates have achieved a 90% high school graduation rate. (The Standing Rock Reservation graduation rate is 65% reservation-wide.)
• St. Bernard Mission School graduates normally make up approximately one half of the honor students at the Junior High and High School.
• In six of the last seven years, the class valedictorians or salutatorians from area high schools have been St. Bernard Mission School graduates.
• St. Bernard Mission School graduates are actively involved in school activities and often are the student leaders — sports teams, band, choir, student leadership, etc.
• Graduates of St. Bernard Mission School continue to be contributing members of the community. Almost all of our graduates go on to college or a trade school, or join the U.S. military.
