Registration for the following school year will begin in January and will be open only to current students for three weeks. After current students have had three weeks to register, new students may apply. New students will be required to complete an application, provide previous school records, and/or complete a Kindergarten screening, and in some cases an interview may be required. After the application and previous school records have been reviewed, a decision letter will be mailed to the address on the application.
All fees and tuition for the previous school year must be paid before a student may attend classes at Holy Name Catholic School. Non-payment of registration results in a child’s enrollment being put on hold. If financial arrangements are not made, the school may use the means necessary to collect tuition amounts owed. Tuition assistance is available for families who qualify. Applications are available in the school office. All tuition assistance information is kept strictly confidential.
If a parent has the ability to pay the full cost tuition amount ($12,000.00 per student), which is unsubsidized by the Church, we ask that you do so. This procedure gives preference to all Catholic and current families.
Parents are required to provide copies of the birth and baptismal certificates for their child(ren) at the time of enrollment. Students entering kindergarten must be five years old by August 1.
Holy Name Catholic School admits students of any race, color, nationality and ethnic origin with all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities made available to students at the school. Holy Name Catholic School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, nationality and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic or other school-administered programs.
Holy Name Catholic School (HNCS) curriculum follows the educational standards mandated by the Wyoming Department of Education and the National Core Standards. HNCS is dedicated to educating the whole person through a program of both academic excellence and the teaching of values and morals that reflect our Christian beliefs. Prayer and religion classes are an integral part of the education program. Religion is a core subject, taught daily focusing on the Gospels, 10 Commandments, service to others and God’s love for everyone. Students participate in planning and celebrating the Liturgy, Penance services and other religious observances. Students in the second grade are prepared for Reconciliation and First Communion. A school Mass is held every Friday at 8:20 a.m. and parents and family members are always welcome to attend.
HNCS has an exceptional community filled with committed teachers, staff, and stakeholders and is excited to offer strong academic core classes such as Religion, Mathematics, Reading, Science, Social Studies, Language Arts and Writing as well as advanced classes with small group instruction. Students are enriched with several specials: Spanish, Computer Science, Art, Music, PE and Library.
