Philosophy 

Holy Spirit is devoted to pursuing the educational mission of the Roman Catholic Church. We recognize parents as the primary educators of their children. In partnership with our school parents, dedicated staff, and supportive parish communities, we commit ourselves to educating the whole child in a Christ-centered environment that fosters spiritual growth, academic and personal excellence, and technological competency. Living as a faith community, we support students' growth in serving God, the Church, and one another, as taught in the Gospel. We believe that education is a cooperative venture of exploration, interaction, and discovery of self, others, and the world. Together with family and parish communities, we strive to provide faith, confidence, skills, and vision in students, so that they can become future leaders of tomorrow. It is our belief that Holy Spirit School truly offers each child a foundation for life.
