Bishop Dubois High School was a private Catholic high school in New York City from 1946 until 1976.
Bishop Dubois High School of New York City opened its doors in September 1946 with the first graduating class in 1950.
The main building and Annex of the private, Roman Catholic Bishop Dubois high school was located in the Hamilton Heights area of Manhattan at 503 and 505 West 152nd St. New York City, N.Y. 10031.
The Catholic school was established using the name, Bishop John Dubois, after John DuBois (August 24, 1764 – December 20, 1842).
The school provided education to male students and prepared them for college and provided the basis for the development of spiritual, academic, and personal qualities to promote themselves and their family, community, and society.
There was no yearbook produced for the class of 1976 due to the foreseen closure of the school and therefore the last yearbook was published in 1975.
The faculty, teachers, and staff of the school consisted of Marist Brothers, Fathers or Roman Catholic Priests, Sisters or Nuns, lay teachers, administrative and general staff.
The school was located in the upper Manhattan area and the composition of students that attended the school were from the five boroughs of New York.
