Meet our Alumni

We are proud to have almost 1560 Holy Family Catholic High School alumni living across the country and around the world. Our motto “Forever part of the Family” rings true among our alumni. Many alumni return to Holy Family to teach, coach teams, chaperone mission trips or speak in our Leadership Institute or at daily convocation.
