Holy Family Falcon
Holy Family is now the offical home of the Falcon! Student council members proposed three options as our new mascot, a Wildcat, a Crusader and a Falcon. Using their Chromebooks the student body cast their votes in an online survey and the Falcon was the winner.
8th Grade vs. Teachers/Parents Volleyball
Holy Family 8th Grade students battled point for point against the aggressive teacher/parent team. Though it appeared at first that the 8th Graders may be out manned, they proved to be a formidable opponent in this 3 to 3 game tie with the teacher/parent team.
