Blessed Sacrament-St. Gabriel High School was a co-educational, private, Roman Catholic high school in New Rochelle, New York in Westchester County. The school was a result of the merger of Blessed Sacrament and Saint Gabriel's into one co-educational institution. The school was conducted by members of the Sisters of Charity and the Congregation of Christian Brothers together with other religious and lay persons. It was located in Blessed Sacrament Parish.

Blessed Sacrament-St. Gabriel High School permanently closed following the completion of the 2012-2013 school year.^[2] In November 2012 there was a list of schools published by the archdiocese that had the potential of being closed, but the archdiocese did not put the school on the list. When the archdiocese announced it would close, students and members of the school community were not expecting the news.^[3]
