Background

Saint Clement High School was established in 1925 by the Sisters of St. Joseph.[3]

In 1984, the Anchormen advanced all the way to the MA State Eastern Mass Division 5 Super Bowl Championship; winning over Blue Hills (22 - 6) at BU Nickerson Field.

In 2013, the Football team won the Catholic Central Small championship for the second time and advanced all the way to the State Semi-Finals in the state playoffs, where they lost 40-20 to Cohasset for the right to advance to the state championship. St. Clement finished the season with a 9-3 record.

In its final years it had preschool to kindergarten as well as 6012. In the 2012-2013 school year it had 256 students in all grade levels, but this declined to 147 in the 2016-2017 school year. In 2017, it was announced the school was to shut down on June 9 of that year, citing low enrollment.[4]
