'''Bishop Stang High School''' is a private [[Catholic]] [[high school]] located in [[North Dartmouth, Massachusetts]], in the [[New England]] region of the United States. It was the first diocesan secondary school in the [[Roman Catholic Diocese of Fall River]], which includes the South Coast Massachusetts, including [[Cape Cod]] and the islands of [[Martha's Vineyard]] and [[Nantucket]]. The school is named after [[William Stang]], the first bishop of the Diocese of Fall River, and has been coeducational since its founding. |

Catholic secondary education in southeastern Massachusetts began in the early 20th century with local parochial schools affiliated with various Catholic parishes.

In the years following the Second Vatican Council, the number of Sisters of Notre Dame decreased. By the 1970s the vast majority of faculty and administrators were lay men and women, and the remaining sisters dressed conservatively, but in lay clothing. Since its inception, Stang has had a large number of alumni return as teachers and administrators. |

|||

|||
Courses are diverse and offered at four levels. Students are placed in levels according to their individual strengths and weaknesses. |
|||
* '''Advanced Placement courses''' |
|||
: Advanced placement courses are highly accelerated courses. They provide students the opportunity to pursue college level studies while in secondary school. AP courses are offered in Biology, Chemistry, Physics 1 and 2, Calculus A/B, English Language, English Literature, Psychology, United States History, and Modern European History. These mainly apply to Juniors and Seniors. Freshman and Sophomores are eligible for Advanced Math placement—i.e. "skipping" a level of math according to their performance—in the course typically taken by the grade above them. |
|||
* '''Honors level courses''' |
|||
: Honors level courses are characterized by content which is more extensive and detailed than standard level and college preparatory level courses. They have greater depth requiring application, analysis, and evaluation of the material, the understanding and use of concepts as well as facts. Independent research, extensive use of resources and outside reading is also expected. |
|||
* '''College Preparatory A level courses''' |
|||
: The majority of Stang students are in college preparatory courses. These courses are characterized by detailed content requiring application, analysis, and evaluation of the material presented. As of the 2011–2012 school year, CP classes have been rebranded College Preparatory A or CPA classes. |
|||
* '''College Preparatory B level courses''' |
|||
: These courses are characterized by basic learning skills such as reading, note-taking, study skills, reinforcement of memory skills, organization and management of a student's time. Because of these built-in supports, more time is spent on developing these learning skills in specific content areas. As of the 2011–2012 school year, standard classes have been rebranded College Preparatory B, or CPB classes. |
