The Holy Names community kicked off the 17/18 school year with a night out at the A's game.  Hundreds of students, parents, faculty, alumnae, and friends packed into the Coliseum for a fun night of baseball.  It just so happens that this year's game was against our cross-bay rivals, the Giants.  Most HNHS families arrived in green and gold, with a few choosing orange and black.  Holy Names was the big winner, kicking off another school year with a fun evening out as a community.
