Dear Friend of Holy Name High School:
The hallmarks of a Holy Name education are faith, responsibility, knowledge, leadership, passion, and compassion. Our graduates have been provided with the tools needed to lead fulfilling, productive, and faith filled lives. They make long lasting and positive contributions to our society and our community. By staying connected, our outstanding alumni and friends are an essential part of making Holy Name “What a Twenty-First Century Catholic School Should Be!”
Holy Name students are educated in the tradition set forth by the Sisters of St. Anne. Our students are taught to have respect for selves and others, and this respect is intrinsically related to responsibility. Alumni were taught the values of leadership, and they learned to appreciate the gospel of Jesus Christ through service to God and community.
Today, at Holy Name, students are being led along the same path. In classrooms and on athletic fields, through the performing arts and other extracurricular activities, during worship and daily interactions; faculty and staff are readying students for journeys that will be filled with joy and challenges. Holy Name students will be well prepared for both. Please consider supporting these students by making a donation through this year’s Annual Appeal. All contributions go directly towards student programs and financial aid at Holy Name.
Just as Holy Name is continuously examining new ways to operate more efficiently and to provide more students with an outstanding Catholic education, we are also taking advantage of the internet and social media to keep alumni and friends connected. We update and share news and events regularly at holyname.net and on Facebook at The Official Page of Holy Name and the Holy Name Alumni Group.
Please consider the importance of a Holy Name education and make a thoughtful, generous gift today, and please connect with us through our updated social media sites. Thank You, and God Bless You and Yours!
Sincerely,
Edward Reynolds
Headmaster

Appeal from President of the Holy Name Board of Advisors
Dear Holy Name Alumni/ae:
We are very grateful to all who have chosen to support our mission by making Holy Name a charitable priority in their lives. Your generosity remains a vote of confidence in our efforts to provide the very best in Catholic education and to help our students become well-educated, free and responsible young adults with strong Christian values.
What is Annual Giving?
Annual Giving is the financial lifeblood of any school. It helps to sustain programs and activities that are not covered by tuition. Simply, annual giving is the best way possible for alumni, parents, parents of alumni and friends to help make a difference in the future of Holy Name.
Why is Annual Giving necessary?
Holy Name students need and deserve your support. Our annual giving program is necessary to sustain the life of the school through enriched academic programs, faculty development and overall operating expenses. Additionally, annual giving helps build our Endowment Fund which ensures the future of our school. Truly, an annual gift is a vote of confidence in Holy Name.
Why not just raise tuition rather than solicit gifts?
Because frankly, tuition funds adequacy – Annual Giving funds excellence. Although raising tuition would generate a certain level of revenue, we know it will not solve the on-going needs the school faces. Besides, in order to generate the total support necessary, we would have to make a substantial increase in tuition. Such an increase would put an education at Holy Name out of the reach of many families. Additionally, most academic institutions rely on an annual giving model to sustain their programs. By giving, you have the opportunity to support the mission of the school at a level you feel comfortable with and receive a tax deduction to the fullest extent provided by law.
Why me?
We realize there are numerous requests for your charitable donation. You might ask: Why should I give to Holy Name? The answer is simple. Holy Name is worth your additional investment. Your gift to Holy Name assures that we can fulfill our mission and keep our eyes clearly focused on the future of this outstanding school.
You do make a difference!
Your past gifts have enabled us to do so much! Support from you has helped us raise the funds necessary to complete the “Field of Dreams”, move forward with a plan to build a new Junior High building, purchase computers for the library and purchase new laboratory equipment for the science labs. Additionally, it helped fund our arts program, upgrade our security system, provide a safe environment for our students and so much more. Whether your generosity went towards the Annual Fund, a Scholarship or Memorial Fund, the Athletic Field Fund or the general fund, it made a difference in the lives of our students. For those of you who have been faithful contributors to the Annual Fund, thank you. Your gifts have provided the foundation upon which tomorrow’s generations will build their futures. If you have not been able to donate in the past, we hope you will realize the positive impact your contributions can make for the students of Holy Name.
Sincerely,
Jeff Vincequere, Class of 1991
