As a young professional I attended Holy Family from Kdg. to 8th grade. I successfully graduted from Holy Family, High School, Ball State University, and am pursuing a Masters' Degree in Education. The reason I decided to become a teacher is because of the wonderful experiences I had at Holy Family.

Close classroom enviroments between students and teachers were formed so I always knew I could feel comfortable discussing a variety of topics. My family took time to become involved in several areas of Holy Family (classroom volunteer, fund raisers, sports, field trips, and more) and I look back and appreciate all of the connections I have with the teachers. I will definately send my future children to Holy Family and am proud to recommend this school! Read less

This school was the worst school I have ever worked with. I am a teacher and the whole experience we had with my daughter going there was horrible. She struggles and they were not willing to help one bit and the principal did nothing to help either. I would not recomend this school to anyone.

I've sent two children to this school for eight years and I'm going to send my third child there for pre-school.

This school has so much unused potential. I can honestly say the further we go in our kids' education, the more disappointed we become. HF has a bully for a business manager who will send letters to you if you haven't tithed the required $560/annually, and even if you are off by $20. The school puts

There is absolutely no organization throughout the school. It's a bit like the mafia. if you are a famliy with generations attending, life is much better for you. They are behind in technology - they've made us want to leave the Catholic Church. Looking for another school. Read less
