Holy Spirit Catholic School Different by Design
Holy Spirit School’s mission is to empower a diverse community by providing academic excellence in a Catholic environment.
Preschool through 8th Grade
In an ongoing effort to protect children and provide safe environments for them, the Catholic Church requires training as well as background checks for all adults working with children.
All adults, whether employees or volunteers, must have a BCI background check on file. Administration, faculty, staff, and substitutes must also have an FBI background check on file. In addition, all adult volunteers and employees must complete the VIRTUS Protecting God's Children program.
