  Register here - Holy Name Practice HSPT Registration
  Students currently in 7th grade are invited to take a practice High School Placement Test (HSPT) at Holy Name High School.
  
  The test has no cost, but spots are limited. All those who attend will be entered into a scholarship raffle for two $500 awards to be redeemed during the 2024-2025 school year. Holy Name's Admissions Office will be hosting a Parent Information Session during the exam covering topics such as the Holy Name Advantage, the high school search process, and financial aid. The session will begin at 11:00am.
  
  Students may choose to use their results from the practice exam for admission into Holy Name in the Fall, but are more than welcome and encouraged to re-test during their 8th grade year.
  
  If your student scores in the 90th national percentile or above on the practice exam, they will earn the designation of a Namer Scholar. These students are eligible for a 4-year, renewable HSPT scholarship ranging from $1,000 - $6,000. Actual amount of the scholarship will be awarded in Fall.
  
  Holy Name will offer additional study courses for your current 7th grade student in the Summer and Fall of 2023.
