Holy Name High School

What Holy Name High School does

Holy Name High School is a private Catholic college-preparatory high school located at 6000 Queens Highway in Parma Heights, Ohio, founded in 1914 as Cleveland's first co-educational Catholic high school. It serves middle-school-transitioning students and their families in Northeast Ohio, enrolling an estimated 300–500 students across grades 9–12, supported by a faculty and staff roster of 65+ personnel. The school's core product is a four-year college-preparatory program centered on formation "in mind, body, and spirit," combining AP and College Credit Plus (CCP) coursework, faith formation through Campus Ministry (daily prayer, Mass, Reconciliation, Eucharistic Adoration, retreats, service), 19 varsity athletic programs across the North Coast Conference, and fine arts with merit scholarship pathways.

The underlying operating stack is standard educational technology rather than proprietary platforms: ProgressBook for student information, Google Suite/Forms for communications, Squarespace for the public website, Hudl and YouTube (via SmeeSports) for athletic video coverage, and HomeTown Ticketing for event ticketing. There is no disclosed proprietary technology, AI/ML capability, or platform architecture; the institution is service-delivery-based and dependent on its campus, faculty, and community ecosystem rather than technology differentiation.

Revenue is generated primarily through annual tuition and fees, with secondary streams including donations and fundraising campaigns (e.g., the #WeGiveCatholic day of giving, Namers' Night of Giving auction, Eugene T. Krakowiak Golf Classic, planned giving via holynamelegacy.org), summer camp registrations, athletic event ticketing, and facility rentals. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, but financial aid and Music/Visual Arts scholarships are offered. The go-to-market motion is sales-led through an admissions team conducting virtual tours, the "Namer for a Day" shadow program, HSPT placement exams, open enrollment windows, and a city-wide billboard campaign; the school targets middle-school families in Northeast Ohio seeking Catholic college-preparatory education and competes for students within the regional Catholic-school market.
