Holy Name Catholic School accepts both Catholic and non-Catholic students from surrounding areas.

The following procedure is used for all new students or students applying for admission to Holy Name Catholic School:

1. Parents schedule initial interview with the principal/office staff. Parent(s) and student are both advised to attend.
2. Permission to obtain written records from student’s transferring school signed by parent(s).
3. Office staff contacts the parent(s) regarding admission.

Parents and their child(ren) are advised to tour the school and sit in on a class as part of the application process. The principal will review all information pertaining to a potential student’s academic history, behavior, medical and learning needs before accepting a new student into the school. If a student’s needs cannot be met at Holy Name, the principal will refer the family to other educational programs in the Sheridan area. Once accepted, the school will need at least one day’s notice before students are admitted to classes.

Annual Tuition, Registration, and Fees for 2020-2021

Tuition: Pre-Kindergarten - 8th Grade

Holy Name Catholic School is largely subsidized by Holy Name Catholic Community, the Holy Name School Foundation, and Goar Foundation. Because of this, tuition rates are minimal.

* Registered members of the Catholic Parish heavily subsidize the operating budget.

Home School/Part-time Students

Tuition determined on an individual basis.

Tuition Payment Options

1. Payment made in full directly to the school office at spring registration.
2. Payment of partial tuition cost directly to school in August and the remainder in January.
3. Monthly payments through automatic withdrawal.
4. Quarterly payments through automatic withdrawal.

All fees and tuition for the previous school year must be paid before a student may attend classes at Holy Name Catholic School. Non-payment of registration results in a child’s enrollment being put on hold. If financial arrangements are not made, the school may use the means necessary to collect tuition amounts owed. Tuition assistance is available for families who qualify. Applications are available in the school office. All tuition assistance information is kept strictly confidential.

If a parent has the ability to pay the full cost tuition amount ($8000.00 per student), which is unsubsidized by the Church, we ask that you do so.

Registration for school is held each year in the spring. This procedure gives preference to all Catholic and current families.

Sports Fee

Athletics (5th-8th grade volleyball, basketball, track)

$50.00 per student, per year

Enrollment. Parents are required to provide copies of the birth and baptismal certificates for their child(ren) at the time of enrollment. Students entering kindergarten must be five years old by September 15 and those entering first grade must be six years old by September 15.

Nondiscrimination. Holy Name Catholic School admits students of any race, color, nationality and ethnic origin with all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities made available to students at the school. Holy Name Catholic School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, nationality and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic or other school-administered programs.
