My experience at HIES has been amazing! I have been here 13 years and cannot imagine my education experience anywhere else! The community is really what makes this place the best.

My experience at holy innocents so far has been pretty good. My older sister went here first and since enrolling myself Ive felt accepted by students and staff. I met my best friends here and also got to explore new things such as Sports medicine. Holy Innocents is a good school, and we are moving in a better direction.

I have been going to Holy Innocents for 12 years, and I have loved every year. I have kept friends from the beginning of my time at HIES and have met so many on the way. HI has given me an environment to thrive both academically and through athletics. There are multiple opportunities for a student to get involved in on campus and I have enjoyed all of them. Not only has this school given me a beyond normal highschool education, but the college counseling offices have also prepared me immensely for the next steps in my future. Overall there is a great sense of community at HIES and I am grateful to be a part of the 805.
