🎒✨ Senior Week Shenanigans! ✨🎒
This week marked the last week of school for our amazing HSHS Seniors—and they’re going out in style!
On Wednesday, the Class of 2025 got creative for “Anything But a Backpack Day”—rolling, carrying, and wheeling in everything but a backpack! From shopping carts to cones to golf clubs, our seniors showed up with school spirit and tons of laughs.
We love seeing their personalities shine as they celebrate their final days at HSHS. Let the countdown to graduation continue! 🎓💙💛 #HSHS2025 #SeniorWeek #AnythingButABackpack #SpartanSpirit #OnceASpartanAlwaysASpartan #Classof2025

🦴 Hands-On Learning in Anatomy & Physiology!
Mr. Gross’s Anatomy & Physiology classes just wrapped up their unit on the skeletal system and fractures with an unforgettable experience!
Special thanks to Mrs. Byrnes, HSHS alum who works for Shore Orthopaedic University Associates, for visiting and teaching our students how to properly place a cast. Students even practiced casting on their classmates—and yes, the casts came off by the end of class!
Real-world learning at its best! 💙💛

💙💛 Spartans Serving with Purpose 💛💙
Our Holy Spirit High School National Honor Society seniors recently assembled Dignity Bags filled with essential items to support children in need. These meaningful care packages were picked up by Christine from Everyone’s Children and delivered to CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates), where they’ll be distributed to kids facing tough circumstances.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who donated to make this project possible. Your generosity is making a real difference in our community!

🚘 Keeping Our Spartans Safe Behind the Wheel
We were honored to welcome Atlantic County Prosecutor—and proud Holy Spirit graduate—Bill Reynolds back to campus for an important presentation on the dangers of drunk, distracted, and high driving.
Joined by Lt. James Rosiello of the Fatal Accident Unit, Prosecutor Reynolds spoke to our student body about the life-altering consequences of unsafe driving choices. Through powerful real-life examples and meaningful conversation, our students were reminded of the responsibility that comes with being behind the wheel.
We are incredibly grateful for this partnership with the Office of the Atlantic County Prosecutor and proud to be part of a community committed to protecting and educating the next generation.
Thank you to Prosecutor Reynolds, Lt. Rosiello, and all who made this impactful event possible.

💙💛 A huge thank you to the HSHS Fathers’ Club for their incredible dedication and hard work during the Annual Spring Cleanup! 💛💙
We are truly grateful to everyone who came out to support our mission and help keep our school moving in a positive direction. From bulk removal around campus to shade work in the gym, sheetrock repairs in the boys’ locker room, painting in the baseball dugout, fence prep for the softball field, backstop repair, and full-campus trash cleanup—your time and effort made a huge impact.
Father's Club President Mike Finnerty said it best:
"At Holy Spirit, it truly takes a village—and we are blessed to have one that embraces our mission with heart and purpose. The village is our "why"—our reason for being, the foundation of our values, and most importantly, the reflection of the amazing people who make this community so special."
Thank you for all you do for our school!!!💙💛

🗣️🎬 In Mr. Higbee’s class, students stepped into the role of teacher with their “How-To” speeches, where they demonstrated and explained a variety of skills and processes!
From “How to Make Edible Cookie Dough” to “How to Read a Defense in Football,” topics included everything from athletics and arts to life skills and hobbies—like crocheting, pitching a baseball, playing the piano, performing basic first aid, and even tap dancing! 👟🎹🥎
This assignment helps students learn how to clearly organize and communicate a process so an audience can follow and understand. No matter the topic, the focus was on clarity, structure, and confidence in presentation.
Great job to all of our creative and confident student presenters! 👏

🌸 As Catholics, we dedicate the month of May to honoring the Blessed Virgin Mary. 🌸
During this special month, we reflect on Mary’s unwavering faith, her example of humility and obedience to God’s will, and her powerful role as our spiritual mother and intercessor.
At Holy Spirit High School, we celebrate Mary through daily prayer, classroom reflections, and special and acts of service inspired by her love and compassion.
Mary shows us how to say "yes" to God with grace and courage. May we follow her example and grow closer to Christ through her gentle guidance.
🙏 “O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.” 🙏
