About Us

Holy Family Elementary is a Pre-K through fifth-grade Catholic educational institution that serves the children of Immaculate Heart of Mary Church, St. Joseph Catholic Church, St. Nicholas of Myra Catholic Church, and churches in the surrounding area of Hays, Kansas.

We are funded primarily by seven Heartland Parishes of Ellis County and are supplemented by student fees and fundraising.

At Holy Family Elementary, "We are Christ to One Another."

This motto is the foundation upon which we have built our success and is the running theme behind who we are and what we do.

We strive to educate the whole child cognitively, socially, emotionally, physically, and spiritually through our virtue-based practices.

We value Catholic formation by recognizing God’s presence and faithfulness. We strive to cultivate holy habits that imitate Christ while prioritizing and
