Holy Name of Mary Parish School is a great place to educate your children. As a parent of two HNM students, I have seen great dedication from the teachers.

I find Vicky's comment very innacurate. I have known many parents with their kids enrolled in Holy Name who have nothing but praise about this school.

I know this for a fact because I am also a working parent ( My kid is in Holy name of Mary School for over 7 years) I have nothing but praise about his school.

Holy Name of Mary is not very accommodating towards working parents! When I first interviewed with Holy Name of Mary, included in the school policy, I was told that an after school program would be available on announced half school days (which is once a month). The school currently has a Early Drop
... Read more Off program starting at 7:30a.m. About 3 weeks into the school year the base program (after school program) was cancelled and a total of 2 to 4 half school days were added. The 7:30 a.m. Early Drop Off program opens late every day and on occasion the kids that arrive early are out in the rain and snow. I have found that the principal Mrs. Videola, is just impossible to speak and work with regarding this very important issue. On many occasions day and school closing are only announce 2 days before leaving working parents scribbling to fine a backup plan. Holy Name of Mary is not very accommodating towards working parents. After attending the open school session at Blessed Sacrament I felt Blessed Sacrament had more to offer the working parent. Read less
