  • Holy Name of Jesus School

    Mission Statement
    Educating and inspiring the minds and hearts of children in a Christ-centered culturally diverse community.
    Holy Name of Jesus School has a long history of providing quality education to children. Holy Name had its beginning in 1908 when a new church and school were dedicated at the corner of Godfrey and Chicago Drive by Bishop Henry J. Richter. Due to the growth of the city of Grand Rapids in the southwest part of the third ward, Holy Name of Jesus Church and School were built. The current school building is the third school to operate on this site. For over 100 years, Holy Name of Jesus School has served a multitude of students as they go through their formative years.

Notification of these meetings is listed in the parish bulletin as well as the school newsletter.

At least one parent should attend several of these meetings in order to keep informed of happenings in the school. A parent representative from each grade level is REQUIRED to attend the meetings. The "Home and School" provides opportunities for parents who wish to render service within our school and parish community.
