HFRS believes that all children can learn and have the right to an education that is spiritually, intellectually, socially, and emotionally safe.
Teachers, administrators, parents, and the community share the responsibility for advancing the school's mission.
The mission of Holy Spirit School is to provide an education strongly rooted in Catholic values, reflecting each student`s unique qualities and promoting excellence in the whole person.
Holy Spirit School proclaims the Gospel message of Christ and supports the development of faith begun in the home to help young people grow in service to God, church, community and one another.
Students need to demonstrate their understanding of essential knowledge and skills, both by being actively involved in solving problems and by producing quality work applied in meaningful contexts.
A safe and physically comfortable environment promotes student learning. Because all students are children of God with special talents and needs and are valued with unique physical, social, emotional and intellectual needs, they should be provided with a variety of instructional approaches to support their learning.
