Holy Ghost Elementary School
Holy Ghost Elementary School is comprised of 7 early childhood centers, 4 grade schools, a middle school and a high school within the Archdiocese of Dubuque, Iowa.
The members of Holy Family Catholic Schools believe that families are domestic churches and the foundation of a Catholic way of life; children are gifts from God and have the right to know the nurturing love of their Creator; parents are the first and primary educators of children; each parish and its programs of Catholic education are an extension of the family and assist families in their mission.

Our mission is to effectively form and support families and students in understanding and living the Catholic way of life through message, community, worship and service.
