Holy Names High School Home

Holy Names High School provides a college prep education in a supportive and inclusive environment.

We pair the challenge of a college preparatory curriculum with a supportive environment and faculty relationships that ensure student success, connection, and confidence. In our intimate and open-minded community, students develop strong voices, deep compassion, and the skills and confidence they need to have a powerful impact on the world. We believe young women can choose their own trajectory free of constraints based on gender, gender identity, race, culture, or economic circumstances.

Now Accepting Admissions for 2024/25

Your path to Holy Names Starts Here! The Admissions process begins with several ways to experience the vibrant campus life at Holy Names.

Shadow visits are the best way for students to see themselves as part of the Holy Names community. Each visiting student is paired with a Holy Names Ambassador and joins that student for a half day of classes on campus. In addition to experiencing the classroom environment, shadow visits offer the opportunity for each student to engage with our diverse, welcoming student body in order to get a true sense of the full high school experience.

Private campus tours are available upon request and can be scheduled with our Admissions Department. Please contact [email protected] to request a private campus tour or schedule a shadow visit today!
