Archbishop Williams High School

Archbishop Williams High School is an independent, Catholic, college preparatory, grades 7-12 school and recently celebrated its 75th anniversary during the 2024-25 academic year!

We endeavor to educate young men and women spiritually, intellectually, ethically, and physically. Driven by the love of Christ, in the tradition of the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth, we integrate learning with faith. We strive to graduate socially aware, morally responsible citizens prepared to succeed and to serve their local and global communities.

AWHS offers a fully-aligned, rigorous six-year academic program for students coming from 55 different cities and towns. With a well-balanced curriculum at the College Preparatory, Accelerated, Honors, and Advanced Placement levels, AWHS continues to give the young men and women who walk through its doors the prospect and ability to pursue not only higher educational opportunities but also their dreams.

AWHS has an exemplary co-curricular tradition. AWHS fans have had much to celebrate over the years as their athletic teams have brought home state and league championships! Students have won state and national awards in the fine and performing arts and co-curricular activities range from Robotics to Foreign Language Clubs, from Tech Crew to Student Government, and Diversity and Equity Club to Model UN.

AWHS looks forward to a bright future. Our past is a rich heritage of academic, spiritual, and athletic excellence; and our future is just as promising. The School has recently spent $25+ million in campus improvements, including but not limited to the Ted Healy '86 Sports Complex, the Mother Catherine Spalding Auditorium, the Volpe Gymnasium, the Stephen J. McGrath '71 Student Center and Nazareth Hall. The most recent renovations from this past summer include those to our science labs which included the installation of an anatomage table.

We look forward to meeting you on campus soon! Go Bishops!
