Mathematics, Science, and Technology
Our students experience connections to real-world situations involving biology, chemistry, physics, and earth science. Technology at Holy Names empowers young women to be 21st century leaders and learners. Our exceptional Digital Divas Club allows students to lead our community in exploring and developing new technologies. At Holy Names we inspire our students to envision themselves as engineers, entrepreneurs, doctors and scientists.
Humanities
Holy Names students think critically and creatively, ask challenging questions and imagine the incredible. By exploring a wide range of cultures and literary genres, our students develop a deep understanding of different traditions and values. The humanities curriculum is another vital piece in our cultivation of passionate and multilingual readers, writers and speakers. Students engage in activities such as Speech and Debate, Model United Nations, and annual trips to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival and the Mark Twain Papers at UC Berkeley.
Arts
Our students are challenged to explore their potential and evolve as artists, singers, musicians and actors. Long known for excellence in the visual and performing arts, Holy Names embraces our students’ talents and inspires personal expression. Holy Names students are not just instructed in the arts, they are leaders. As they discover their own voices and visions, they inspire our community.
