Holy Name Central Catholic Junior Senior High School is a private, Roman Catholic high school in Worcester, Massachusetts, USA. It is located in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Worcester.
Holy Name High School opened on September 14, 1942. The new high school offered a bilingual program in French and English. By 1946, the student enrollment had grown to 122 students and, in 1957, Holy Name’s status was changed to a Central Catholic High School. On September 24, 1967, the old high school moved from Illinois Street to the present site on Granite Street when Bishop Bernard Flanagan dedicated the new building. In September 1997, Holy Name Central Catholic High School added Grades 7 and 8.
The curriculum includes social studies, literature, natural sciences, mathematics, foreign languages, technology, theology, art, music and physical education. As a Catholic school, Holy Name promotes the principles of Jesus Christ in the students' personal and social life. The school has a full advanced placement program and a challenging academic level system. Students may supplement their learning with online courses through Virtual High School.
Holy Name offers a wide variety of artistic opportunities for students to pursue throughout their high school careers. These programs encourage creativity and dedication, while inspiring a lifelong interest in the arts.
The Holy Name Music Program offers a chorus, band and jazz band at varying levels of difficulty. Every student who participates in the music program has the opportunity to perform at the Christmas and Spring concerts. In addition to these concerts, the music department attends the Great East Festival where Holy Name competes against area music programs.
