A Few “Brief” Notes from the Principal

Hello Crusader Families!

I hope you enjoyed all the sunshine this week! I have some school sunshine to share with you as well! We have hired a Lunchroom Supervisor and CGS Teacher this week! I can’t share her name until all the paperwork is complete, but I wanted to let you all know that we do have these positions filled. Watch our Facebook page this week as a name and bio will be shared as soon as we can. Mr. Ron will also be helping in the lunchroom this year, so our wonderful teachers will not have to eat lunch with their classes and will be able to take a much deserved break. We continue to seek a Middle School ELA and History teacher as well as a Recess Supervisor. If you or someone you know may be interested, please email me at mbrief@holynamecrusaders.com.

Next week is the week many of us have been waiting all summer for… The U.P. State Fair starts next Monday and runs all week! We are very blessed to have a booth outside of the Grandstand area again this year, thanks to the Daniel J. Kobasic Foundation. Please stop by to see us as we will have many staff, parents, and maybe even some students manning our booth with give-aways and a fun game. I’m looking forward to seeing many of you throughout the week!

Have a wonderful weekend and a blessed week!

God bless,

Mrs. Brief 😀

Printable Academic Calendar for 2026-27

hnc-admin2026-06-01T10:55:59-04:00June 1st, 2026|

The 26-27 Holy Name School Calendar aligns closely with Escanaba Area Public Schools for the sake of helping families with bussing, however there are two days next year where Parent Transportation will be necessary due to Holy Name being in session and EAPS not having school. For those families that are able to take advantage of bussing, please mark your calendars for December 18, 2026 and February 18, 2027 as those are the two dates you will need to transport your child(ren) to and from school.
