Spartan Way Leadership in Action!

Today, as part of our Spartan Way Leadership Program and the revitalization of our Retreat Program, Holy Spirit hosted our first themed day of the year for all students! 💙💛

Freshmen and sophomores took part in activities on campus, while juniors and seniors attended a college fair at the Atlantic City Convention Center. It was a wonderful day of growth, exploration, and Spartan spirit!

On October 1st, 2025, community spirit was in full force at American Legion Junior Auxiliary Unit 28 in Absecon, NJ!

A big shoutout to Patrick Voss, Zoé Dhyne, and Stephen Hughes for lending a helping hand in assembling 100 hygiene kits for individuals experiencing homelessness. 🙌

Not only did they jump right into the action during the hour-long build, but they also stayed to help clean up afterward. Their support made a big difference!

Thank you for showing what true service looks like. 💙

🌟 Be a HERO. Be a Designated Driver. 🌟

Last week, our students had the privilege of hearing Mr. Bill Elliott share the inspiring story behind the HERO Campaign for Designated Drivers, founded in memory of his son, John R. Elliott.

Mr. Elliott’s message reminded us all about the power of responsibility, compassion, and resilience — perfectly aligning with this month’s theme at Holy Spirit: Resilience • Perseverance • Mental Toughness • Grit 💛💙

Thank you, Mr. Elliott and the HERO Campaign team, for teaching our students such important life lessons and inspiring them to make choices that save lives.

Join the movement!
Students and staff are invited to participate in the HERO Walk/Run in Ocean City on October 19. For information on this weekends walk click here: https://www.herocampaign.org/events/

🎓 The college visit season continues at Holy Spirit! Up next: Richard Stockton University and Montclair State University — two standout New Jersey institutions offering exciting opportunities close to home.

These on-campus visits are more than just a presentation — they’re a chance for our students to explore majors, campus life, admissions, scholarships, and more without ever leaving HSHS. It’s the perfect opportunity to ask questions, gather insights, and take a step closer to their college goals.

We’re thrilled to keep connecting our Spartans with schools from across the region and beyond. Stay tuned for more visits throughout the year!

Last Friday in Mrs. Ciseck's Advanced Psychology, students brought Behaviorism to life with a fun class experiment!

Volunteers bravely tried different foods (eyes closed!) while the rest of the class acted as behaviorists: observing reactions, recording data, and making educated guesses .

Students filled out analysis forms based only on what they observed:
✔️ What might the food be?
✔️ Did the person enjoy it?
✔️ Would they eat it themselves?

No inside knowledge—just pure behavioral analysis in action. A hands-on way to show how psychologists study outward behavior to make inferences, without relying on what’s going on inside the mind.

🙏💙 Blue Mass 2025 💙🙏

Last week, Holy Spirit High School students were honored to participate in the 24th Annual Diocesan Blue Mass at Our Lady of Hope Parish.

Celebrated by Bishop Joseph Williams on the Feast of St. Michael and the Archangels, the Mass offered prayers and gratitude for our dedicated law enforcement officers and first responders who selflessly serve and protect our communities every day.

⚽💙 As part of our Leadership program and focus on service, our Holy Spirit Boys and Girls Soccer teams had the opportunity to volunteer for a great cause on Friday, at the Field of Dreams in Absecon.

Goalkeeper and HSHS baseball pitcher John Mullen pitched for nearly two hours, while Mikayla Nash caught behind home plate. Team captains Dan Smith, Jayden Kurtz, and Luke Brown kept the infielders engaged with toss-and-catch drills.

Smiles all around — we can’t wait to do it again next year! 🙌⚾️⚽️

📣 Get ready, Spartan Nation! Spartan TV is coming to you LIVE like never before!

Holy Spirit High School Kicks Off The Spartan Way

Last week, kicking off our Spartan Way speaker series, alumnus Bill Reynolds ’91, Atlantic County Prosecutor, spoke to our students and inspired them with lessons on leadership, commitment, integrity, and the traits of strong leaders: authenticity, character, accountability, honesty, servanthood, and humility. He also shared the “Three Cs”—Culture, Compete, Compassion—and emphasized core values like gratitude, humility, and presence. Prosecutor Reynolds has been instrumental in helping create this new program at Spirit over the past year, and we have been blessed to utilize his knowledge and leadership in putting it into action.

Today, Bill Elliott will be visiting Holy Spirit High School to present the HERO Campaign, a program focused on making safe and responsible choices. Students will explore themes of Perseverance, Mental Toughness, and Grit, learning how to overcome challenges, stay resilient, and develop the strength to make positive decisions in their lives.

#OpenHouse2025 #beaspartan #SpartanWay #classof2030 #compete

The college visits on campus have officially begun! Our first visit of the year was with Florida Southern College.

College visits at Holy Spirit provide students with a unique opportunity to learn more about prospective schools right here on campus. During these visits, college representatives share important information about academic programs, campus life, admissions requirements, and financial aid. Students can ask questions, gather materials, and get a feel of what each college offers, helping them make informed decisions about their future school.

We look forward to welcoming many more colleges this year and encourage our students to explore all their options as they prepare for the next step in their academic journey.

Holy Spirit High School Students Participate in “See You at the Pole” for the First Time

Today, students at Holy Spirit High School gathered for their first-ever participation in See You at the Pole™ (SYATP), a global day of student prayer. This annual event, held on the fourth Wednesday of September, invites students around the world to meet at their school’s flagpole before classes begin to lift up their schools, communities, and nations in prayer.

See You at the Pole™ began in 1990 with just ten students praying at their school in Texas. Since then, it has grown into a worldwide movement, with millions of students taking part each year. The event is student-initiated, student-organized, and student-led, focusing solely on the power and importance of prayer.

At Holy Spirit, the event was coordinated by our Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) group and was open to all students and staff. The morning began with an opening prayer led by Father Nilsen. A Scripture passage was read aloud followed by students forming small prayer groups to pray over friends, families, teachers, their school, and our nation.
