A positive, encouraging learning environment. Teachers and staff that truly care about their students. A commitment to academics. A commitment to technology.

Holy Name High School is true to its mission. They truly care about the students and the extra mile on everything they do. It truly is a faith-based community where the spiritual, academic, and human formation of my child was the focus of the entire faculty and staff. No other school in the area has made such a commitment to academic excellence as has HN. Technology is a major focus and our child is the beneficiary of this emphasis. However, most importantly it is a Catholic school that truly emphasizes the importance of the faith and how important it is for my child to stay connected to her faith.

Teachers are approachable and want the student to excel and work toward their full potential. Over 90% of the students particapate in extracurricular activities. Very strong school spirit. A great high school to send your children too!

My son had the courage to leave the Public School in our area,and to attend Holy Name H.S. beginning in his sophmore year. I am now sure this is the best gift we could have ever given our son,and I am thankful and so proud of him that he had the courage to make the change. He is now a Senior and an Honor Student at Holy Name. Since his sophmore year he has had the opportunity to make great friends andto have an excellent education. At Holy Name he has been in a positive learning environment where the teachers and staff view each and every student and as a unique individual with their own gifts and talents and he has also had the opportunity to have teachers/mentors that truely care. Much Praise to Holy Name H.S. DMF

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.
