In your opinion, what is the absolute best thing about Archbishop Bergan Catholic School? In my opinion, the absolute best thing about Archbishop Bergan Catholic School is the family atmosphere. Upon my arrival in 2010, the administration, faculty, parents, and students immediately made me feel at home. In addition, I feel that our identity as a Catholic institution allows us to teach to the whole student. By praying in class, talking about God, and attending mass with the students, I feel that I have been able to learn more about them as individuals which aids in my ability to assist them in the classroom.
