Our daughter and family had an amazing experience at Holy Names. The staff and teachers care deeply about their students and work hard to see them succeed.

Holy Names is an inclusive and caring community that provides resources, student support, academic rigor, and an opportunity to build strong, lifelong relationships with peers and staff. I've never seen such a vibrant community of deeply caring and supportive individuals. I also love that the all-girls environment allows teenage girls to study in a judgment-free climate where they can focus on learning and building connections.

A rare diamond on the hill that many have not discovered but should seek it out. Your daughter will have an exceptional academic experience under the caring supervision of the facility and staff. They are committed to uplifting these young women and preparing them to be leaders in the world. I'm so thankful that we found this school. Its a very special place!

HNHS is a small Catholic all girls school that empowers the girls to speak up and stand up for justice. Many girls come in timid and shy, but leave confident and with a voice.

Holy Names has been great for my daughter. She is receiving a first rate, college prep education with small class size and plenty of access to the teachers. In fact, I don't think I have ever seen such dedicated teachers, they are always willing to meet with my daughter when she has questions or is having difficulty. It is the perfect blend of structure and compassion. This year they are making some changes to the Parent Association which I think will make it easier for parents to figure out how to be involved in a meaningful way. I love the new Principal, she has a lot of enthusiasm and some great ideas.

Holy Names High offers a challenging curriculum taught in small classes where any additional help is available if needed. Our daughter was very reluctant to attend an all-girl school, but has found it to be a fun and supportive learning environment. She's taking mostly honors classes, voice and volleyball and is thriving.

Holy Names High School provides a sisterhood of generations of the Bay Area's young women. I am always meeting HNHS alums who love to reminisce about there time there. Although many girls are hesitant to attend an all-girls school, they soon find they love the comradeship and confidence that they feel among their peers. Our girls form tight bonds with each other, and all faculty and staff are familiar with each and every one of our lovely students. They grow in leadership positions, are highly challenged in academics, and thrive in our rigorous Visual and Performing Arts programs. I encourage you to schedule a visit at our gorgeous campus nestled in the Rockridge hills.
