School History
Overview
Holy Ghost Catholic School founded in 1912, was opened by five Dominican sisters as St.
Thomas Aquinas School. Holy Ghost School was named from the Third Person of the Blessed Trinity, the Holy Ghost / Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is symbolic of peace and security. The members of our community ask in prayer, schoolwork, or in leisure that the Holy Sprit guides us and is the center of our school life.
