Archbishop Williams High School


Archbishop Williams High School is a co-educational Catholic school in Braintree, Massachusetts, United States. It was founded in 1949 by the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth.
Archbishop Williams' school seal, originally that of the founding order of nuns, is the pelican, which was an early Christian symbol of Jesus. The school's motto is Caritas Christi Urget Nos, or "The Love of Christ Drives Us On." Blue and gold are the school's colors.
The school is named after John Joseph Williams, the first Archbishop of Boston. Archbishop Williams High School was dedicated on September 12, 1949, by Cardinal Richard Cushing.
In the fall of 2014 Archbishop Williams added a 7th & 8th grade program. The 7th & 8th grade program was moved to Nazareth Hall for the 2016–2017 school year. This move was made possible because of renovations done to the building and the addition of the new fine arts center on the second floor.
In the fall of 2016 Archbishop Williams unveiled its new Al and Rita Nazzaro P’75, ’76, ’78, ’82, ’83 Science Lab located on the top floor of the school as well as the Paul L. Dignan ’55 Athletic Training Center, its new training and workout center located underneath the gym. Along with these changes the school has added the James and Katherine MacDonald P'72,'74,'79,'82,'85,'87 Amphitheater, dedicated in Spring of 2017 and includes a walkway and amphitheater in accordance with the ongoing campus beautification project.
In the fall of 2017, Archbishop Williams dedicated its newly renovated cafeteria, The Stephen J. McGrath '71 Student Center. It is a wonderful flexible-use space for our students and the Archbishop Williams community.
In the fall of 2019, the two year and two phase construction project of the beautiful Louis J. Volpe Gymnasium was completed. We are proud to call the new gymnasium the Home of the Bishops!
Tuition is $15,750 for grades 9–12 and $13,400 for grades 7-8 for the 2020 & 2021 school year.
