Dear Friends In Christ,

Thank you for taking the time to view Holy Name Catholic School's website. I hope that you find it user friendly and helpful. If you are new to the area and considering a Catholic education for your child, I encourage you to set up an appointment and visit the school personally. Holy Name Catholic School welcomes you and your family with open arms.

Holy Name Catholic School is a pre-k through eighth grade school in which prayer punctuates the day. Each morning the school gathers for convocation in the gymnasium and prays the Divine Praises. "Blessed be His Holy Name!" After the Divine Praises, the daily announcements, birthdays and the Pledge of Allegiance follow.  At 12:20 noon the Angelus is prayed as a school over the P.A. system. Students attend Mass once a week on Thursdays at 9:00 a.m. We have first Friday Recess Rosary and Eucharistic Adoration on special feast days throughout the year. The greatest aspect of Holy Name is that we have a chapel with Jesus reposed in the Blessed Sacrament!

Holy Name Catholic School offers a rigorous, relevant curriculum. I am very proud of our students as we have the overall highest MEAP scores in the area. We also offer a variety of extra-curriculars including art and physical education. Our teachers are available for a half- hour everyday after school for tutoring or extra help. We do not let any of our students slip through the cracks.

Thank you for taking the time to read through this and if there is any way I can assist you or answer any of your questions, please do not hesitate to stop by the school or call my office.

Yours in Jesus' Holy Name,

Joseph L. Carlson
