St. Bernadette Parish School

Today's Learners, Tomorrow's Leaders

Meet the Principal

Welcome to St. Bernadette School!
 
Since opening in 1960, St. Bernadette has been committed to forming students who are strong learners, compassionate leaders, and faithful members of their community. Rooted in our Catholic mission, we strive to foster academic excellence while helping each child grow spiritually, socially, emotionally, and creatively.
 
I joined the St. Bernadette community in January 2026 as a middle school teacher and quickly came to appreciate the warmth, faith, and dedication of our students, families, faculty, and staff. I am honored to now serve as principal and to continue building on the strong foundation of this special school community. I bring many years of experience as an educator and school leader in the United States and internationally. Throughout my career, I have served as a teacher, principal, curriculum coordinator, and instructional leader. My work has always centered on supporting teachers, helping students grow academically and personally, and building strong partnerships with families.
 
I believe children thrive when they feel known, loved, challenged, and supported. At St. Bernadette, we are committed to creating a welcoming and joyful environment where students can discover their gifts, deepen their faith, and develop the confidence and compassion to serve others.
I look forward to working in partnership with our families, parish, faculty, and staff as we continue helping every student grow in faith, knowledge, and love.

Blessings,

Melissa Vidal-MacKay

Principal
