Staff, students and parents collaborate to maintain a positive and nurturing environment at Holy Spirit Catholic School. An empowering atmosphere among the staff, between teachers and students and among the students themselves. Holy Spirit Catholic School recognizes that an education in the most enabling environment must be provided for all students. It is a shared responsibility among school, home, church and community to provide the opportunity for all students to achieve their maximum potential and strive to be the best they can be. To this end, we engage the support of all stakeholders in facilitating the spiritual, social, academic, physical and effective development of the students.
