Bethlehem High School Home

The Joseph of Arimathea Society continues to grow at Bethlehem!

This year, we have more than doubled participation in this meaningful student organization, with over 20 young men now committed to serving our community in a very special way.

Members of the Joseph of Arimathea Society provide pallbearer services for individuals who have passed away and may not have family or others available to assist with the funeral service. Their presence offers dignity, compassion, and support during an incredibly important moment for families and our community.

We are especially grateful to Gilly Simpson for leading this wonderful student organization and helping our students live out Bethlehem’s mission through service to others.

What an incredible example of faith, compassion, and giving back. We are so proud of these young men!

Choosing a Catholic education for your child may feel like a financial stretch, but Bethlehem High School is committed to making that dream more attainable for families. With affordable tuition, financial aid available to nearly 40% of our students, academic scholarships for students scoring in the 90th percentile or higher on the High School Placement Test, family and full-payment discounts, work-study opportunities, and generous community support, there are more ways to make a Bethlehem education possible than many families may realize. Before you decide that Catholic education is out of reach, we encourage you to take a closer look at Bethlehem and explore the options available to your family. A Bethlehem education is more than a tuition bill, it is an investment in your child’s faith, academic growth, relationships, character, and future. If you’ve ever wondered whether Bethlehem could be the right high school for your child, we invite you to start the conversation. It may be more possible than you think! 💙💛
