From the founding of the high school on Cal- houn Street in 1916, the sisters of Charity of Our Lady of Mercy have been a stabilizing force of BEHS. Pioneers in the field of educa- tion were Sr. Berchmon, Sr. Jane Frances, and Sr. Mechtilde. After the school had been cide- quately equipped, it was these three noble women who shared the burden of teaching with the devoted priests.
