WEEKLY BROADCAST FEATURED NEWS Mrs. Vincent's 6th grade science students create water molecules!
As Holy Spirit Catholic School transitions from a PREK-8th grade school to a PREK-5th grade school, it is the perfect time to look at how well we are doing and how we can improve. It is our goal to create a joyful learning environment where students develop their gifts and talents to serve the common good.
If you are able, please take a few moments to share your thoughts and opinions with us about your experience at Holy Spirit Catholic School by clicking on the link below. We are more interested in overall themes of strengths and areas to grow rather than details about specific teachers. Access to the survey will remain open through February 27th.
Thank you for partnering with us in faith and learning!
