| The primary goal of Holy Spirit School is to provide a religious education program that integrates religion with the academic curriculum. Our ultimate goal is to teach a love for Jesus Christ - a love so strong that the difficult decisions of maturity and adult life will be truly Christian responses rather than simply human reactions to events and situations. |

Holy Spirit School was established in 1956 under the direction of Rev. Thomas Murphy, the first pastor of the parish. The Sisters of the Holy Faith have staffed the school since its establishment. Presently, it is staffed by two sisters and eighteen lay teachers. The school was built to accommodate eight grades and a library. Initially there were four grades, then each succeeding year another grade was added until the full complement of eight was established. In 1988, a Kindergarten and Extended Care Program were added. A Computer Lab was built in 1991 and a Science Lab in 1994. Throughout its fifty-two year history, Holy Spirit School has adapted and enriched its total education program to meet the changing needs and demands of its population. Enrollment has remained constant. The families served by Holy Spirit School are representative of the socio-economic diversity of the parish and community. The strong bond between the school and the parish is reinforced by the fact that 84% of the families are Holy Spirit parishioners and 95% of the students are Catholic. |
