Holy Name Catholic School (HNCS) curriculum follows the educational standards mandated by the Wyoming Department of Education and the National Core Standards. HNCS is dedicated to educating the whole person through a program of both academic excellence and the teaching of values and morals that reflect our Christian beliefs. Prayer and religion classes are an integral part of the education program. Religion is a core subject, taught daily focusing on the Gospels, 10 Commandments, service to others and God’s love for everyone. Students participate in planning and celebrating the Liturgy, Penance services and other religious observances. Students in the second grade are prepared for Reconciliation and First Communion. A school Mass is held every Friday at 8:20 a.m. and parents and family members are always welcome to attend.
HNCS has an exceptional community filled with committed teachers, staff, and stakeholders and is excited to offer strong academic core classes such as Religion, Mathematics, Reading, Science, Social Studies, Language Arts and Writing as well as advanced classes with small group instruction. Students are enriched with several specials: Spanish, Computer Science, Art, Music, PE and Library.
