Bernard used to have its own school called Bernard Elementary School. It was built in 1963 and had an addition in 1967. The school was next to the Bernard Commercial Club Park. Over the years, fewer children lived in the area, so the school's enrollment became very small. By 2017, Bernard Elementary only had 31 students. The school district decided it was too expensive to keep the school open for so few students. In February 2017, the school board voted to close Bernard Elementary. Students were then moved to Cascade Elementary.
