My son had a terrific high school experience, and was accepted to his preferred college. I'm very glad that we made the decision to enroll him in HGP.

My son will graduate this year from HGP. I cannot say enough good things about the academic rigor of his classes and dedication of the teachers and staff at the school. He has had access to tremendous opportunities for service and experiences beyond the classroom. Make sure your son takes the entrance exam at the school for access to scholarships. Holy Ghost Prep has provided my son with unparalleled opportunities and we would make the same choice for him again without any hesitation.

By far the best decision we ever made was sending our son to HGP. He's gained so much knowledge and confidence and he feels completely prepared for college. They have so much to offer academically, clubs, sports and service opportunities. My son will have friends/brothers for life from his 4 years attending HGP.

His academic achievement there earned him a full tuition scholarship for college. I have no doubt this would not have h...

The boys are treated like young professionals in a stron academic enivroment with the right balance of that with fun and support.

Holy Ghost Prep exceeded our expectations! The sense of comraderie among the boys and the teachers and staff is contagious. Our son felt right at home from the beginning and felt comfortable to join many activities. The single gender school is a plus, the boys are expected to grow as men, and the ma...
