Message from Mrs. Dominguez-Chávez
Hello families! Welcome back to school. It is great to have you back on campus.Thank you to all that attended parent/teacher conferences. Those short interactions help build the home/school connection, which in turn, keeps us all on the same page. We have many fun and exciting events coming up. Please mark your calendar and do your best to attend. Our students benefit when their families are active participants in school functions.We are excited to kick this school year off with our NM United Soccer Fundraiser and are anxious to engage with our families and the whole Holy Ghost community.
Thank you for your continued support of Holy Ghost. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Blessings,
Mrs. Dominguez-Chávez

2023 Promise for Our Future 5K
Through the support of our sponsors and YOU, the individual donors, the ASF Office of Catholic Schools provides much needed tuition assistance to families who want to offer a quality Catholic education to their children but would not be able to without the help of our generous donors.
This year the school you choose to support will also get $5.00 back for each participant. Proceeds will support the Holy Ghost Student Tuition Assistance Fund. We will have a Pep Rally on Friday to get the kids excited about this event.
