About Holy Spirit Preparatory
Holy Spirit Prep is a unique community of faith and joy, where families and teachers collaborate to form happy and healthy young men and women of faith who are marked by the prudence to know how to live in our time and the greatness of soul to pursue their God-given talents. Our students read great works, imitate heroic lives, and live a culture of life.
Holy Spirit Preparatory School began in 1996 as an initiative of parents and parishioners of Holy Spirit Catholic Church, under the leadership of its pastor, Msgr. Edward Dillon, who wanted their children to receive an authentically Catholic education. This new independent Catholic school, initially known as the Donnellon School, after Archbishop Thomas Donnellon of Atlanta, was founded with a clear and enduring vision of providing an education that was Catholic, Classical, and Complete. Filling a much needed place, HSP grew to graduate its first high school class in 2006.
Today, that commitment to an education that forms the whole student in the educational patrimony of the Catholic Church and Western Civilization remains the driving force behind the Holy Spirit Prep community. We seek to provide a timeless education that stands above the fashions or trends or trends of the day, responding to the evangelical mission of the Church and the Church’s vision for the Catholic school: “Among all educational instruments the school has a special importance. It is designed not only to develop with special care the intellectual faculties but also to form the ability to judge rightly, to hand on the cultural legacy of previous generations, to foster a sense of values, to prepare for professional life.” (Vatican II, Gravissimum educationis, 5).
