Mission Statement:
Holy Family School provides the highest quality academic and spiritual education rooted in the traditions of the Roman Catholic Church.

Religious Affiliation and Emphasis
Holy Family School is an independent Catholic school which follows the religious guidelines and curriculum of the Archdiocese of Seattle. Formal religious classes are taught daily and students attend a prayer service and Mass at once a month. Because the Catholic religion is the philosophical foundation of the school, classes begin with morning prayer in the classroom conducted by the classroom teacher. Prayer before meals and at the end of the day is also part of school life. Religious education and faith formation is integrated throughout the school day. Faith in action is exemplified with the student principle of “We will try to live as Jesus would live and learn our lessons as best we can.” Faith in action is exemplified through service to others and the Church liturgical year is lived through the sacraments, scriptural readings, and other traditional devotions of the Church.

Governance
Holy Family School is governed by a Board of Trustees. The principal of the school is responsible for the daily operations and decisions within the policies established by the Board of Trustees. The principal is a non-voting exofficio
member of the Board of Trustees.

History
