Joseph Carlson, Principal – Holy Name Catholic School

Dear Family,

Thank you for considering Holy Name Catholic School for your child’s place of spiritual, and intellectual formation. We look forward to partnering with you as the primary educators of your children. If you have this packet in your hand, it is no accident. You are looking for something different and unique for your child(ren). Prayer is the difference here! Through prayer we enter into a conversation and relationship with Jesus.

This year we have the great blessing of extending this opportunity to grow in a relationship with Jesus into a high school setting for both freshman and sophomores. I remember as a much younger man how much I looked up to my neighbors who were already in high school. In fact, from a very young age I longed to be number 32 in basketball because that’s the number they all wore in high school. Having a high school with students that are serious about their faith and want Christian friendship is going to have a positive impression on our elementary and middle school students.

This year has been a challenge and together our school family has weathered the storm of COVID-19. There has been much loss, tension, masks, social distancing and quarantines that has interrupted this past school year. However, Holy Name Catholic School is still standing and caring on the tradition and responsibility to be a light to this community and the world around us! Now is the time to come back stronger, more faithful, more forgiving, more loving and more joyful!

We welcome you to our school family, a family founded on Jesus Christ.

It’s going to be a great year and we are excited to have your family a part it!

God bless you and God bless Holy Name!

Joseph L. Carlson
