Prepared for the next challenges

Our graduates enter high school prepared and confident for the next challenges that await them. Our graduates are leaders in their high schools across campus and beyond. But during their HCES reunion on campus last spring, the class wanted to swing on the playground and sing songs in chapel. They wanted to write well wishes on the whiteboard of their favorite teachers and visit their old lockers. On this campus, they felt childlike again, safe and secure, known and loved. We invite all alumni back home again, where, even for a moment, they can re-capture what it feels like to be a part of “Holy Comfortable.”

Portrait of a Graduate

At Holy Comforter, we provide an education that prepares students to make a difference in their community by nourishing the spirit, challenging the mind, and strengthening the body in a Christian environment.  Below are listed the traits and skills that have been instilled in a Holy Comforter graduate upon graduation.
Without the expectations of a specific high school, our graduates are confidently prepared to succeed in every school across our community. In addition, being “at the top” allows our 8th graders to take on roles and opportunities that set them up to be leaders.

In Their Words...

We asked local high school administrators to share their perspective on our graduates as they enter their high school programs.

  • Administrator

    Holy Comforter students are prepared academically and socially to conquer the demands high school/life brings. The  students who come from this institution fit very well into our rigorous environment.

  • Administrator

    I would also add that HCES graduates are extremely well-rounded. Their character is as solid as their academics. This sets them apart from their peers and set them up for success in every area.

  • Administrator

    Holy Comforter graduates are socially well-adjusted, academically strong, committed to school community, models of good character and representative of what we try to instill in all of our high school students.

  • Administrator

    Our high school teachers are always delighted to get HCES alums because of their positive attitudes about learning, work ethic, critical thinking skills, and academic preparedness across all subjects.
