A reminder for current families: we have moved to a continuous enrollment contract as of last year, so you do not need to re-enroll.

You will, however, need to submit your 2023 information to FACTS.

Your new payment plan will be made available in late May.

As part of our effort to ensure the highest quality experience for our students, we will be administering a Student Experience Survey to students in school on Wednesday, April 24.

The survey is anonymous and will take about 15 minutes to complete. 

Spring sports are back in action!

Varsity lacrosse won its first matchup of the season, topping Emma Willard 12-7 on Tuesday.

On the track, Holy Names was victorious over Ravena, with first place finishes from Julia Viglucci (1500m), Morgan Brewer (400m), Lucy Griesemer (400h), Maeve Joyce (3000m), Georgia Boggs (Triple Jump), Riley Sanford (Pole Vault), Anna Wasula (Shot Put, Discus), and the 4x400 relay team.

It was a packed house at Christian Brothers Academy on Tuesday for the CBA/AHN College Fair.

More than 80 universities and colleges were in attendance to speak with students. Thanks to the Guidance and College Counseling Departments of both schools for organizing the event.

Join AHN in Honoring Helen Spiro at Spring Gala

The Mount Rushmore of beloved figures at Holy Names is so extensive, you’d need more than one range to include them all. This year’s recipient of the John H. Farrell “Building the Future” Award at the AHN Spring Gala is surely among them.

On Friday, May 3 we will be celebrating 140 years of excellence, and honoring Helen Caulfield Spiro '78 at the Gala.

You can read more about Helen here and in the spring issue of the alumnae newsletter Connections.

The evening includes:

Cocktail Reception * Open Bar * Dinner * Auction* Paddle Raise * DJ & Dancing
