Holy Family Catholic School understands the concern for our students, faculty and staff to be in a safe and secure learning environment. We have gone through many measures to make sure our students are safe throughout the school day so that learning is top priority. All our faculty, staff and volunteers are certified and trained through the diocese on these important safety issues.
VIRTUS
All staff, faculty and volunteers are required to attend a VIRTUS training session. These training sessions combat sexual abuse of children in the Church. It is currently in use in over 80 dioceses in the United States.
Safety Drills
Several times throughout the school year we hold tornado drills, fire drills, and lock down drills.
