Club Fair - Wednesday, 9/17

Our Student Club Fair is this Wednesday! During the Club Fair, which is held during the “Assembly” block before lunch on this day, each student club will provide the student body with club details, goals, schedule, and more on the Back Campus. Each Club will also have a table board showcasing what they are all about! Students can talk with Club members, sign-up for clubs they are interested in, and more.

All student clubs are student-driven! If students are interested in starting a new club, they should stop by Ms. Ankobia’s office to talk about the proposal steps.

We want all Holy Names students to participate in a Club. It is a great way to make friends, have fun, and participate in our community in a way that aligns with our Integral Student Outcomes!

Welcome to a Phone Free Campus!

Holy Names is now a cell phone free campus using Yondr pouches, allowing students to securely store their phones during the day. Click to learn more and view the new policy.

Back to School Night: Aug 28, 6-7pm

Back to School Night provides families with an opportunity to get to know their student’s teachers and learn more information about their respective courses. We aim for 100% participation and ask that at least one parent attend this very important event. We will have limited parking available on the Back Campus.

Welcome Back, Monarchs!

In mid June, all families should have received an email from Mr. Greene that included the Back to School Information Guide. Click the title above to view those items and everything you need to know for the upcoming 2025/26 school year!
