Welcome from Principal Brief

Dear Holy Name Families,

Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year! I am so excited to be here at Holy Name Catholic School with you and your children! I’m also excited to start this new journey with Mrs. Erin Viau, our new Headmaster at Holy Name High School, A Chesterton Academy! Erin is a wonderful addition to our Holy Name family and many of you may know her as she has been an active parent at Holy Name Grade School for years. Mrs. Viau and I will be working together with our buildings this year as we are proud to be one school with two beautiful buildings. We are even blessed to share many staff members, of whom several are new faces as well! One of the exciting things that we will be doing this year is on Thursdays, the High School students will walk to the Grade School for Mass and then stay for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Hours, as well as for Lunch. They will then walk back to the High School for their afternoon classes. Our vision is that all students will get to mingle with each other, learn how to help each other, and get excited about the Chesterton High School Academy.

Naturally, with this being my first year at Holy Name, everything is new to me, but I’m also learning that there are some things that have changed since the end of last school year. On the back I’m going to share with you some of the important things to know, and I apologize if you are already aware. I’d rather you hear it twice than not at all. If after reading this and talking with our amazing staff at Open House, you still have questions, please feel free to reach out to me via email at mbrief@holynamecrusaders.com or by phone at 906-786-7550 x204.

In addition, this year Mrs. Viau, Mr. Vic, the teachers and staff, and myself will be enforcing the dress codes, cell phone, bullying, and behavioral policies. An updated Handbook and Behavior Rubric (Grades 9-12) will be provided to you the week of September 2nd and I will be happy to answer any questions you may have at that time.

Thank you for choosing Holy Name Catholic School for your child’s education! I’m looking forward to a blessed and productive year.

God Bless,

Michelle Brief
Principal

Boys Basketball Pictures & Year End Party

hnc-admin2024-08-23T09:25:11-04:00December 16th, 2022|

Hi all. First off, thanks to everyone… especially our players for another great boys basketball season. Both teams played their hearts out this year, and they should be very proud of their success.

Parents, thanks for all your help and support throughout the season. I love the enthusiasm that everyone at Holy Name has for school sports. It is definitely worth cherishing and nurturing in these times of travel and club sports. Also, a shoutout to Brian Parlato for all the time he gave to the boys helping coach during practice and during games.

So, for our end of season, we will finally be doing pictures…. Monday, December 19th after school. Then we’ll have a pizza party for the players until about 4:30… then we’d like to have a parents (moms and dads) vs. players basketball game until at least 6pm. (We might stand a chance after they’re full of pizza and pop). Nobody needs to bring anything, it’s just to have some fun… thx again. See you all on the 19th.

Go Crusaders!
