The Ascension of the Lord

Greetings!

I partnered with our diocesan Department of Education to ensure that we choose the right person to lead our school community. I am thrilled to announce that Mrs. Sally Douthit has accepted the invitation to serve as principal for the 2022-2023 school year at Holy Spirit School, and I hope that you will join me in welcoming her into our Holy Spirit community. Read More...

God Bless,
