The Phillips Family...What Catholic Education means to them!
Our 9th child will soon graduate from Holy Spirit High School. As we look back on this journey through the last 26 years at both HSHS and St. Joseph Regional elementary school we are filled with gratitude. I am thankful that my husband are I were able to give our children the gift of a Catholic education. We truly believe that it is a gift.
It was always very important to us that our children would learn about and speak about Jesus during their school days. We loved the fact that teachers could incorporate our belief in our Catholic faith during any class. Our children were blessed with teachers who cared about them and wanted the best for them in all aspects of their lives.
We always felt part of a larger family which worked together in so many ways. Some of our childrenβs best friends are those they made during their time at Holy Spirit. My husband and I have also been fortunate to have become friends with many parents who share our values and our commitment to catholic education.
Our children value their time at Holy Spirit and are all benefitting from the education they received during their high school years. I only see a bright future for the school as it continues to grow and prosper.
I truly believe that Holy Spirit is the best school at which to grow into and learn to become fine men and women going out into the world.
