SGS History

The School of the Good Shepherd is the continuation of Winchester Academy, which was opened in September 1903 by the Dominican Sisters in conjunction with the Good Shepherd Parish. Initially, the school was known as St. Francis de Sales School, but existed as Winchester Academy until 1965. The present school was built and dedicated in 1966. In 1992, the school began a new phase under lay administration after the Dominican Sisters were called back to Nashville. The tradition of quality Catholic education in a loving, caring, and nurturing environment continues today.
