History

The school was founded by the Christian Brothers, a monastic order, and is named in honor of the Bishop James Walsh, a Cumberland-born missionary who preached in China and was imprisoned in solitary confinement by its Communist government for twelve years. [ [http://www.times-news.com/archivesearch/local_story_083094104.html Cumberland Times-News - Bishop Walsh School continues a tradition ] ]

Opening in 1966, the school was originally Bishop Walsh High School (BW) and replaced four other Catholic high schools: La Salle, Ursuline Academy, Girls Central, and St. Peter's. In the mid-1980s, St. Mary's Elementary school closed and St. Patrick's and St. Peter & Paul reorganized as a grade school and middle school. Later, the grade school became St. John Neuman and BW became a middle/high school.

In 2002, it combined with St. John Neumann Elementary School to form a K-12 school. The school is run in part by the Catholic organization the School Sisters of Notre Dame. The school also employs several Christian Brothers of the LaSallian Brothers among its teaching staff. The school's sports teams are called the Spartans after the warriors of ancient Sparta.
