    50th Year Anniversary
    50th Year Anniversary
    The creation of Holyoke Catholic High School in 1963 united the parish high schools of Holy Rosary, St. Jerome’s and Sacred Heart to be joined a few years later by Precious Blood. These are our four founding schools. We celebrate the solid foundation upon which our school was built by remembering the 50 year anniversary of the united Holyoke Catholic High School. Holyoke Catholic message of unification continues. We now bring together students from over 30 communities throughout western Massachusetts and Connecticut. The scope is broader, the challenge is great but the message of uniting in Catholic Education is the same. “So That All May Be One”. Make it a point to join in the special events that will be held during our anniversary year celebration, for this proud legacy is yours.
