Are you considering a Catholic school education for your child? Or, perhaps, your child is already attending Holy Name of Jesus Catholic School (HNJ). You may wonder why so many people choose to send their children to a Catholic school versus a public school. Below are the top reasons parents choose a Catholic education for their children:

What our Teachers and Students Are Saying:

• “Our Specials Out Class the Rest!” — Mrs. Lynch

• “Lunches are balanced, healthy, and taste great!” — Student

• “We have honest teachers who explain subject material in a different way so that we each can understand it.” — Student

How do you know that you are loved and cared for at HNJ?

• “By the effort, our teachers put into their plans and lessons.”

• “Learning is fun like when we learn new vocabulary in Spanish by playing Bingo.”

• “We are taught real world skills and lessons like when we can earn ‘classroom’ money and then spend it. We also learn about debt.”

• “Teachers use Loving Discipline, They talk to the students in order for students to understand the behavior, reflect, and change it to a more appropriate response.”

At Holy Name of Jesus Catholic School, We Believe:

• That each student is a gift from God, unique in his/her talents, and has the right and the opportunity to develop spiritually, academically, socially, personally, and physically.

• That education lays the groundwork for lifelong learning through developing persistence, self-discipline, critical thinking, problem solving, and the courage to make moral and just choices to build the kingdom of God.

• That every child can learn and individual needs can be met through a core curriculum, which values superior academics; artistic, physical, technological, and cultural experiences; enrichment and extracurricular activities; collaborative learning; high expectations; measurable assessment; and a clear delineation of goals.

• That the Gospel message is the center and enlivening force of all that we do and teach. 

• That we are a Catholic community, built by a program of religious formation that instructs in the truths and traditions of the Catholic faith, provides opportunities for prayer/worship including the Eucharist and other sacraments, and encourages them to practice Christian values both at home and at school.

• That to build productive members of our society, we must instill in students a sense of responsibility for their own learning through personal accountability for the quality and prompt completion of all assignments.

• That exposing students to diversity will instill tolerance and concern for others, which will lead to peace and justice in our world.

• That we must cultivate understanding of, and appreciation for, the dignity of each individual, as well as the need to serve and respect themselves and the rights of others.

• That in order to motivate students to adopt a healthy lifestyle, we must provide a program of physical education and health awareness.
