Archbishop Williams High School is a co-educational Catholic school in Braintree, Massachusetts, United States. It was founded in 1949 by the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth.

Contents

Archbishop Williams' school seal, originally that of the founding order of nuns, is the pelican, which was an early Christian symbol of Jesus. The school's motto is Caritas Christi Urget Nos, or "The Love of Christ Drives Us On." Blue and gold are the school's colors.

The school is named after John Joseph Williams, the first Archbishop of Boston. Archbishop Williams High School was dedicated on September 12, 1949, by Cardinal Richard Cushing.

In the fall of 2014 Archbishop Williams added a 7th & 8th grade program. The 7th & 8th grade program was moved to Nazareth Hall for the 2016-2017 school year. This move was made possible because of renovations done to the building and the addition of the new fine arts center on the second floor.

In the fall of 2016 Archbishop Williams unveiled its brand new state of the art science lab located on the top floor of the school as well as its brand new training and workout center located underneath the gym. Along with these changes the school has added a new walkway and amphitheater in accordance with the ongoing campus beautification project.

Tuition is $11,200 for grades 7 and 8 for the 2016 & 2017 school year. Tuition is $13,200 for grades 9–12 for the 2016 & 2017 school year.
