Established in 1963, Bishop Brady offers a college preparatory program in a supportive Christian atmosphere. The school replaced St. John's High School, which opened its doors in 1930 on South State Street in Concord. (Saint John's building is still in use as Concord's Catholic K-8 school, Saint John Regional School.)
An expansion and renovation project was completed at Bishop Brady in May 2007, creating a new multimedia center, new guidance suite, six new classrooms, an expanded chapel, and four new administrative offices as well as renovation to the existing administrative area and cafeteria.
The school is named for Matthew F. Brady, a former Bishop of Manchester.
Bishop Brady has 41 full-time faculty members and 3 part-time.
The Bishop Brady FIRST Robotics Team, not funded by Brady, earned second place out of the many teams that competed in the 2008 Manchester Regional Competition. They are currently being led by Commander (Capitan) Minnehan in their preparation for the 2009 FIRST Robotics competition, named “Lunacy”.
Brady fields sports teams in NHIAA Class I, and has cross country, football, lacrosse, baseball/softball, field hockey, ice hockey, basketball, skiing and soccer programs.
The Division V football team have been state champions twice in a row and play their home games at Memorial Field in Concord. The coach of the Green Giants is Gregory Roberts.
Bishop Brady was a New Hampshire high school football power in the late 1970s and early 1980s, winning the Division III state championship in 1978, 1979, 1981, 1983, and 1984.
Bishop Brady Girls Skiing won the 2008-2009 state championship, with one Brady athlete, Stephanie Siegart, finishing first overall in the Slalom event, with run times of 34.51 and 34.82. All 6 Brady entrants finished in the top 20 in slalom, and in the top 22 in the Giant Slalom.
Brady's athletic mascot is the Green Giants. The name was chosen by students in the early days of the school as a reference to a song by The Kingsmen, and not the brand of vegetable.
