History

Founded by Russell J. McVinney, Bishop of Providence, Bishop Hendricken High School, named for Thomas F. Hendricken, first Bishop of Providence, opened in 1959 with a student body of 350 students. Two years later, reflecting the trend of increasing enrollment in parochial schools, enrollment had increased to some 800 students. Located on a 34-acre campus in Warwick, Rhode Island, the school was run by the Brothers of the Holy Cross as a private Catholic high school. During the 1960s the school gained recognition for achievements in sports and academics.

The Congregation of Holy Cross (C.S.C.) is a Roman Catholic congregation of priests and brothers founded in 1837 by the Venerable Father Basil Anthony-Marie Moreau, CSC in Le Mans, France. ...

In 1970, the Brothers of the Holy Cross announced that they would be leaving the school. The announcement had a dramatic effect on the school; enrollment plummeted, and a rumor began spreading of the school's closure, leading to a campaign by teachers, parents, students and alumni to save the school. Through the intercession of Bishop McVinney, the Congregation of Christian Brothers agreed to take over staffing the school. In September of 1971, with Br. Thomas Feerick as Principal and Br. James Liguori as Assistant Principal, the school opened as usual: now as a diocesan, Catholic secondary school with the Congregation of Christian Brothers running the school and the Bishop Hendricken High School Corporation as the governing board. The Brothers' first goals were to increase enrollment and raise necessary funds, both of which were accomplished quickly enough to ensure the school's survivial.

To handle the increasing student population, in 1975 Bishop Hendricken High School took over the former Our Lady of Providence Seminary High School at Warwick Neck, which became the new senior campus. A Board of Directors was established in 1990, and in May, 1993, Bishop Hendricken was named a "Blue Ribbon School of Excellence" by the U.S. Department of Education. At the same time, plans were announced to build a $2 million senior wing, allowing seniors to return to the main campus. The United States Department of Education was created in 1979 (by PL 96-88) as a Cabinet-level department of the United States government, and began operating in 1980. ...

Over the period of 1997 and early 1998, the school added the following: a 16,000 square foot South Gymnasium; a 5,000 square foot outdoor street hockey/basketball area; a redesigned West Gate on Oakland Beach Avenue; a 6,000 square foot West Wing of classrooms; an official web site. In late 2005, the school completed a new two-story building containing classrooms with integrated SMART Board technology, a theater with an effective thrust stage, and various arts-related accommodations. The SMART Board interactive whiteboard is a large, touch-sensitive display that is placed on a wall or floor stand in classrooms, meeting rooms, boardrooms and other places where people gather to meet, teach, train and present. ...
