Holy Spirit High School is a Roman Catholic Preparatory School located in Absecon, New Jersey (just outside Atlantic City). The school is under the jurisdiction of the Diocese of Camden. The school's motto is Caritas Omnia Vincit – which translates to 'love conquers all things'. The school has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Secondary Schools since 1971.

The school is under the limited governance of an independent Board of Trustees. The Bishop of Camden is responsible for the proper teaching of the Catholic faith, the proper celebration of the sacraments and the overall Catholic identity of the institution. The President/Principal serves as the Chairman of the Board of Trustees and the chief administrative officer of Holy Spirit High School.
The Holy Spirit High School Spartans compete in the National Division of the Cape-Atlantic League, an athletic conference consisting of both parochial and private and public high schools located in Atlantic County, Cape May County, Cumberland County, and Gloucester County. The Cape-Atlantic League operates under the aegis of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association.
The football team won the Non-Public A South state sectional championships in 1974, 1975 and 1978. The 1987 football team won the Parochial A state title by defeating Notre Dame High School 15–8. The 2007 team held an undefeated record of 12-0 and won the Non-Public, Group III state sectional championship with a 26–13 win over Immaculata High School.
