Holy Spirit High School Holy Spirit High School has a rich tradition of providing quality Catholic Secondary School Education to the young people of Atlantic County. For more than eighty-five years, countless young men and women have been successfully called by Holy Spirit High School to develop their God-given talents and abilities.

According to the school’s website, the academic program consists of core courses offered on five ability levels: advanced placement, honors, advanced, and college preparatory and a limited number of general level courses for the non-college bound student. Additional electives are offered in art, business, and music (chorus and instrumental). Holy Spirit also runs a Special Education program. Students attend eight periods a day with forty minute classes that meet every day. The school year is divided into two semesters. Mass is celebrated in the school chapel each morning before the school day begins. The Religion Department develops spiritual and liturgical programs for the students and staff as well as the development of service projects throughout the school community.

Holy Spirit boasts many extracurricular activities including Amnesty International, Band, Choir, Literary Magazine, Mock Trial, Music Honor Society, National Honor Society, School Play, School Newspaper, International Student Exchange, Ski Club, Spirit Earth, Student Government, Yearbook, Ministry Department and Spirit Ambassadors.
