Our commitment to providing an environment that encourages spiritual, social, and moral development is fully realized in our theology classes at Holy Name High School. We teach our students about Roman Catholic doctrines, values, and traditions. As directed by the Diocese of Cleveland, the theology curriculum is based on materials provided for young people of high school age by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. In conjunction with our campus ministry program, faculty, administrators, and members of the student body share a dedication to social action and living through the values of our Christian faith.
Our curriculum includes four full credits of theology classes required for graduation at Holy Name High School. Each semester students are enrolled in a theology class that earns half of one credit, and successful completion of both equals one credit per year. The classes are taught in the following order:
Theology I – Grade 9
Theology II – Grade 10
Theology III – Grade 11
Theology IV – Grade 12
These activities and clubs are sponsored by the Theology Department:
