Holy Name Catholic School

Holy Name Catholic School encourages interested families to schedule a tour and contact the school office (317-784-9078) to begin the enrollment process; the school notes it typically begins enrolling for the new school year in January, with returning families given first priority and open enrollment starting shortly after. (school.holyname.cc) Admission eligibility begins with the school’s spring registration date each year; preschool applicants must be age 3 or 4 and kindergarten applicants must be age 5 by August 1 of the school year, while grades 1–8 require proof of successful completion of the previous grade. (files.ecatholic.com) If applications exceed capacity, students are placed by a published priority order (current students; Catholic children of active/participating parishioners—especially siblings of current students or graduates; other active-parishioner Catholic children; then Catholic children of inactive parishioners; then non-parishioner Catholic children; then non-Catholic children), with tie-breakers based on parish registration date (higher categories) or the school’s admission application date (later categories). (files.ecatholic.com) Applicants not selected are automatically placed on a waitlist that fills openings using the same priority order and exists only for that specific school year (ending when the school year ends); the handbook also states the school may hold a random public lottery if applicants exceed available spaces.
