Over the summer and into the fall months, numerous improvements were

Further updates to the school building are already being planned, with chemistry lab renovations slated to begin in

strategic initiative news
Already an institution characterized by academic excellence and Catholic values, Holy Name
High School is a place where the foundations of a young person start to take shape. Imagine
the HN sophomore or junior student introduced to the wonderment and possibility of science
in a state-of-the-art high school chemistry lab, who then goes on to become a renowned
chemist making life changing discoveries and advancements in the medical field. Or maybe it
is an HN senior who, after embarking on a semester of volunteer service and understanding
its impact on the community, pursues a road into non-profit management, raising funds and
bringing awareness to causes that affect so many in our society. No matter what the journey,
the foundation for our students starts at Holy Name.
You can help foster and encourage each student’s personal calling as a participant in our Loyal
Hearts Firmly United strategic initiative. Providing the funds needed to increase endowment,
enhance our facilities, and strengthen our academic programs, Loyal Hearts Firmly United
ensures the success of our student body’s intellectual and spiritual well-being as they prepare for
an ever changing and complex world.
The Project: $2 MILLION
The spirit and substance of this initiative embraces
Holy Name High School’s potential to excel beyond
its aspirations and accomplishments. Our vision and
mission sets us apart from other high schools in the
surrounding area as we profoundly shape the way
students think, achieve, serve, and lead.
Although our needs at this point in our history
outweigh our current fundraising capacity, we have
determined that the first $2 million raised will be
allocated as follows:
CURRENT FUNDING PRIORITIES $2 MILLION
1. FACILITIES: $1 MILLION
• Chemistry Lab Renovation
• Field Enhancements
2. ENDOWMENT: $1 MILLION

• Faculty Development
• Staff and Program Support

budget by generating funds for capital needs required
for the existing facilities, new science initiatives,

www.holynamehs.com 13student corner International Travel Opportunities Continue as Students Visit England and France Several students enjoyed a 10-day trip in both England and France over the Easter holiday last spring. While in England, they spent time in both London and in Windsor. Highlights included touring Westminster Abbey, visiting Windsor Castle, celebrating Mass at Westminster Cathedral, and going on a special Harry Potter Tour at the Warner Bros. Studio in London. After enjoying all that England has to offer, the group traveled via a Eurostar train to France! Spending time in France was a special highlight for the Holy Name students, as all five of them took French with Mme. Lillian Paul. While there, they saw the Eiffel Tower lit up at night, explored art exhibits at the Louvre, and experienced Easter Sunday Mass in Paris. Besides visiting so many significant landmarks, the students also experienced the rich cultures of two vibrant countries. A group of junior and senior students will once again travel to England and France in April 2019, this time with Mr. Peter Knittel as the chaperone. A trip in 2020 to Ireland is also being planned. 14 Holy Name High School

NAMED NATIONAL
MERIT COMMENDED

Tess Smith ’19 was named a
Commended Student in the Class
of 2019 National Merit Scholarship
Program! Tess is in the top 10 of
her senior class, and is a member
of National Honor Society. She is

talents, Tess is involved with Campus
Ministry, Cenacle of Mary and
PenOhio. At her home parish of Saint
Those in Need Christopher in Rocky River, she teaches
fifth grade PSR.
The Campus Ministry Program kicked off the school year
with a new sophomore service project at the Parma Area
Family Collaborative (PAFC).
The collaborative, located just minutes from Holy Name, opens a food pantry on the second
Thursday of every month. Sophomores go to the PAFC in the morning on those days to
unload deliveries from the Greater Cleveland Food Bank and to bag the groceries. Another
group of sophomores then arrives at the collaborative in the afternoon, helping to distribute
food to the families in need.
Before the school year began, freshman students helped at the PAFC as well. They sorted
school supplies collected and packed them in 1,000 backpacks. Members of the boys soccer
team also pitched in, organizing and preparing the backpacks for delivery, and then unloading
them so they could be successfully distributed.
High School Conference Engages
Students to #ReThink Diversity
The Diversity Center of Northeast Ohio’s High School Conference at
John Carroll University this past March gave members of Holy Name’s
Diversity Club the chance to interact with students from other schools,
regions and backgrounds. Through various small group activities and
student-led panels, the attendees developed ideas on how to build a more
inclusive community at Holy Name. They also began to think about how
they can help not only students, but all Northeast Ohioans, rethink the
way they see race, age, religion, ethnicity, culture and much more.
