I have actually thoroughly enjoyed my time here at Holy Name. I think many things could be improved regarding the staff listening to what the student body wants. However, I would recommend this school to anyone interested.

Holy Name High School was an interesting experience. The faculty and staff were not kind people nor did anyone really respect them. They didn't have any respect for the students privacy. The education was no better. The teachers were not good and they keep teachers who are too old to teach and don't know how.

Smaller school, which I really liked because I felt that I had more opportunities to play sports and really get to know both the teachers and other students.

If your kid is talented, smart, and athletic go ahead and send them here. If your child has an ounce of creative being, or does not follow the mainstream, and/or LGBTQ+ they WILL be bullied and the teachers will most likely let it happen. If you love your kid and they are different, don’t send them...

This school preaches no bullying and fair treatment for all however its laughable. A girl bullied another girl for being overweight. However instead of doing anything about it they let it go, because the bully's parents donate money. Disgusting behavior.

One of the worst choices I’ve made in my life is going to this school due to the terrible teaching and very outdated infrastructure.
