Our VALUES
FAITH
Everything we do begins and ends with God. As the first co-educational Catholic High School in Cleveland, our mission has been guided by faith for more than a century. Through prayer, worship, and service, our students learn to live the gospel with courage, conviction, and joy. Faith is our foundation.
EXCELLENCE
God calls us to give our very best. Our pursuit of excellence is reflected in every classroom, on every field, and in the heart of every student. Through dedication, discipline, and drive, our students achieve greatness.
COMMUNITY
Our joy is found in belonging. We celebrate what makes us different and the common threads that unite us. At Holy Name, everyone is seen, supported, and loved. We believe God is revealed through our relationships - teaching us to recognize his image in one another. No one stands alone. Together, we rise.
FORTITUDE
The spirit of the Green Wave never quits. It is the resilience to rise again, the humility to learn from our failures, and the hope that keeps us moving forward in the storm. We overcome every challenge with courage, conviction, and perseverance. Fortitude is the heartbeat of Holy Name.
THE GREEN WAVE IS RISING.
