Bishop Guertin High School

Bishop Guertin (BG) is a college preparatory independent private Roman Catholic high school in Nashua, New Hampshire. Named for Bishop George Albert Guertin (1869-1931), it was founded by the Brothers of the Sacred Heart in 1963. Scholastics Subjects are divided into nine departments: English, Social Studies, Computer Science, World Languages, Science, Mathematics, Health and Fitness, Fine Arts, and Religious Studies. Guertin students are able to take courses in these departments at the "College Preparatory", "Honors", or "Advanced Placement" level. Guertin teachers are also available for personal help and tutoring before and after school. World Languages at Guertin are currently Latin, French, and Spanish (including 5th year of language and/or AP language); in addition to these language foundations, Ancient Greek has been recently added to the curriculum as a semester-long "Honors" elective. Bishop Guertin offers six class periods a day, starting at 7:45 am until 2:30 pm. The class schedule varies from day to day. There is an eight-day cycle with six periods each day. For example, Day A would consist of periods A, B, C, D, E, and F. Lunch is a 30 minute block lunch during the 4th period of the day. There are 5 lunches, with 1st lunch starting the earliest at 11:00 AM, and 5th lunch starting the latest at 11:55 AM, both on a regular school day. The next day (called "Day G" due to the fact that class period G starts that day) would begin with period G and continue with periods H, A, B, C, and D. The schedule continues to cycle like this every day until it reaches "Day A" again and the cycle starts over. Also, if there is a snow day, hurricane day, holiday, etc. the BG students return to school the next day with the schedule planned for the missed school day.
