Our History

Nativity BVM is one of the accredited elementary schools administered by the Catholic Diocese of Biloxi. Its history connects with that of Sacred Heart Academy which began in 1875, under the direction of the Sisters of Mercy. By 1956 Biloxi had more children than Sacred Heart could accommodate, so the newly constructed Nativity BVM elementary School opened its doors to serve the local community. Our school currently has children in Pre-Kindergarten 3 through Grade 6.

Thanks to the fine spirit of collaboration that has prevailed among parents, parish and school staff, Nativity BVM has been able to provide quality Catholic education to successive generations in this community. Throughout its history, the school has maintained accreditation by the State of Mississippi and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
