'''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.
