Holy Name will be offering the High School Placement Exam for current 8th grade students:
Seeley Test Pros is offering an HSPT Preparation Course at Holy Name High School.
Saturday, October 7th, 2023 - 9am - 3pm
Students who receive higher scores on high school admissions tests:
The incoming Class of 2028 will be required to take the High School Placement Test (HSPT). All incoming freshmen will need a placement exam on file in order to fully submit an application.
We encourage students to test at Holy Name High School, but are welcome to test at other schools. Parent/guardians may submit their student's highest test score to the admissions team to be considered for scholarship and placement. Please email test results to admissions@holynamehs.com.
Holy Name will take a holistic approach when reviewing a student’s application, taking into consideration:
Upon acceptance, Holy Name will use a student’s grades (7th and 8th) and standardized test scores (MAP, IOWA, PLAN) to determine placement and schedule at Holy Name.
Holy Name will be offering a Practice Placement Exam for current 7th grade students (Class of 2029)
Students currently in 7th grade are invited to take a practice High School Placement Test (HSPT) at Holy Name High School.
The test has no cost, but spots are limited. All those who attend will be entered into a scholarship raffle for two $500 awards to be redeemed during the 2024-2025 school year. Holy Name's Admissions Office will be hosting a Parent Information Session during the exam covering topics such as the Holy Name Advantage, the high school search process, and financial aid. The session will begin at 11:00am.
Students may choose to use their results from the practice exam for admission into Holy Name in the Fall, but are more than welcome and encouraged to re-test during their 8th grade year.
If your student scores in the 90th national percentile or above on the practice exam, they will earn the designation of a Namer Scholar. These students are eligible for a 4-year, renewable HSPT scholarship ranging from $1,000 - $6,000. Actual amount of the scholarship will be awarded in Fall.
