"We chose HC because of the sense of family that you feel walking through the doors. We came from All Saint’s Academy and HC felt like an extension of that family. We also chose HC for the education it would provide for our kids. We had a sophomore during covid and the way in which the school handled every aspect of teaching greatly out weighed any other school in the area. I often said I had never been more happy sending my kids to catholic school. They didn’t miss a thing and they still strive for the best in preparing the kids for their future. "
~Mrs. Priscilla Grill, Parent, Class of 2023 & Class of 2026
