We are so excited to begin another school year together. This year’s theme, Created with Purpose, Called to Belong – Rooted in Faith, United in Love, reminds us that each of us has been uniquely created by God and that we are strongest when we share our gifts in community. At Holy Names, belonging means more than simply being here—it means building bonds of friendship and sisterhood, supporting one another, and living out our call to love.
This year is all about building on the spirit of connection and belonging that makes Holy Names so special. By showing up for each other, living with respect, and embracing the opportunities before us, we can make this the most vibrant and joy-filled year yet.
Holy Names offers countless ways to get involved, from athletics to clubs, from service opportunities to leadership roles. Alongside your academic journey and the guidance of our dedicated faculty, these experiences will help you build these bonds with one another and become the authentic, innovative, empowered, and service-minded scholars and leaders described in our Profile of the Graduate.
This year invites us to strengthen the bonds of sisterhood, strive for excellence, and deepen the sense of community where everyone belongs. With faith as our foundation and love as our guide, this year holds incredible promise. We can’t wait to see all that you will accomplish—together.
Here’s to a happy, healthy, and purpose-filled year at Holy Names!
