Holy Names High School Reviews
I would say that my only criticism of the school is that the administration should try to build a connection with a local all-boys school. Girls here don't have a lot of social connections outside of school.
If you decide to join any type of leadership, be prepared for a lot of pushback, we have nuns here and traditions are strong. Some good (Junior ring, Kairos) some bad (strict uniform, hard to fundraise), just make the best of your time here with the people you meet. My four years were great here and although I wish some things had been different, I don't regret my choice of attending this institution. I met lifelong mentors, friends, and gained tons of confidence.
