MISSION STATEMENT
"Be it known to all who enter here that Christ is the reason for this school, the unseen but ever present teacher in its classes, the model of its faculty, the inspiration of its students.”
Our mission is to bring the message of Jesus Christ, as understood in the Roman Catholic tradition, to the faculty, staff, students and their families in a way that challenges them to integrate the gospel of Christ into their daily lives.
To fulfill this mission Holy Name School will:
- Encourage growth among students and faculty
- Develop social skills through a Christian lifestyle expressing the values of peace and justice.
- Reinforce and support parents’ values and goals through communication with students and parents.
- Build a sense of community by helping children realize their own personal dignity and the worth of others by understanding their rights and how to give and take constructive criticism.
- Teach the skills necessary for learning and encourage children to reach their highest potential in every area of their lives.
- Develop courageous Christian leaders to keep ever before them the hope of a better world.
The Catholic Faith
Holy Name School recognizes and respects the fact that some of its students may have different faith traditions. However, Holy Name School affirms its right as a Catholic institution to celebrate the faith traditions, which are a part of its educational mission. Students are expected to participate in all religious functions and to study the Catholic religion as an academic subject.
Holy Name Catholic School has been serving the people of Ketchikan for over sixty years. The school is open to all children, preschool through 6th grade, who are willing to learn, regardless of race, creed or national origin. Students from different faith communities and church backgrounds are welcome and will find a comfortable home at Holy Name School. |
