Our Philosophy
Each student has special gifts to share with the world and at Holy Ghost School; we have built our educational philosophy around the idea that it is our duty to assist in the formation of our student's future. How do we do that? Holy Ghost School incorporates a high school preparatory curriculum and instills a strong sense of service to others and our communities into the daily life of our school. By understanding how students learn and providing a safe and nurturing environment that is conducive to higher thought and studious reflection, we are giving students the ability to achieve the fulfillment of their potential and grow in witness, social awareness, and academic prowess.
Our Academic & Accreditation Focus
In grades Pre-K3 through 8th, our students learn the fundamentals of social interaction, how to be part of an academic community, and the importance of recognizing the gifts each person brings to our school community. Well beyond the fundamentals of English/ Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, Science, and Religion, our students participate in classroom activities that help them excel in technology, as well as learning researching and study skills that will serve them well as they prepare to transition to a college preparatory high school.
The coursework in each grade level is designed to challenge and promote academic excellence, encourage critical thinking skills and allow students to form a values-based problem-solving ability that will serve them throughout their lives.
Our faculty is dedicated to the success of our students and makes it a priority that all students know that they are capable of leaving a positive impact on their community.
We are a member of the network of Catholic Schools in the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston and is accredited by the Texas Catholic Conference Education Department (TCCED), which is recognized and approved by the Texas Education Agency.
To gain accreditation, the school must meet the principles and curriculum standards set forth in the Texas Education Agency’s Bulletin 560, revised. There is an annual evaluation conducted by the Superintendent of Catholic Schools to ensure that standards are being met and exceeded
Our Campus Life Focus
At the very heart of a Holy Ghost School, education is the primary goal of educating students in mind, heart, and spirit. Along with the comprehensive and rigorous education, we seek to nurture a deep and meaningful sense of spiritual growth and an active and fulfilling Student Life experience. Our students are given the opportunity to excel in sports, the arts, and a wealth of service-learning enrichment activities throughout the academic year.
