Vision of Holy Spirit High School 

Holy Spirit High School will be recognized for its strong traditions, close-knit community, and excellence in all things. With a vibrant Catholic identity and a welcoming environment, Holy Spirit High School will be the premier choice for families in South Jersey, prioritizing students' academic and spiritual growth while empowering them to make a meaningful impact on the world.

Philosophy of Holy Spirit High School 

As declared by the Holy Father, Pope Francis, "the education of children and young people is such an important task in forming them as free and responsible human beings....it is especially the duty and responsibility of the Church, who is called to serve mankind from the heart of God..."

It is the calling of all those associated with Holy Spirit High School to teach, live, and lead by example with a spirit of Love and Mercy, so that we may develop in our students and each other, minds formed with wisdom and knowledge, hearts filled with grace and understanding, and hands ready to give and to serve. 

We are dedicated to providing academics that inspire and challenge; athletics based in integrity, team first and fair play; and service opportunities that address pressing social justice issues, all purposefully designed and inspired with Catholic values as our foundation. We believe in creating an atmosphere of intentional respect and honor for each individual regardless of age, culture, religion, origin or ability - through Christ's love.
