Welcome to our enrollment process, which consists of two simple yet significant steps: application and enrollment. The initial application is your introduction to our school community, where we begin to get to know your child and your family. While applying doesn't guarantee immediate classroom placement, it's the first step toward becoming part of our school family. The second step, enrollment, finalizes your entrance process, ensuring that you are set to embark on our educational journey. We're excited for you to experience firsthand the warm and nurturing atmosphere that defines Holy Family School. We are more than an educational institution; we are a family, and we are honored to welcome you into ours.

K-8th Grade Admissions

Entrance Age

Holy Family School abides by the same criteria as the Clarkston School District on admittance of students to our school. Children entering Kindergarten are to be 5 years of age on or before August 31st of the academic year of enrollment. Children entering the first grade are to be 6 years of age on or before the same date.


Dress Code

Personal appearance is important to a child’s self-esteem as well as their educational outlook. Standard uniform unifies our students, reminds them that their presence at Holy Family is a privilege which should be approached with pride and dignity, and projects a unified identity to the wider community. As a community, Holy Family strives to have students accept themselves and each other for who they are, not for what they wear. Uniform supervision is first and foremost the responsibility of the parents/guardians. Learn more about our dress code here.


Scholarship Assistance

FACTS Grant & Aid (Nazareth Guild) Tuition Assistance
The FACTS Grant & Aid (Nazareth Guild) provides tuition assistance to students throughout the Diocese of Spokane. Last year, they provided tuition assistance to 98% of applicants. Awards are $500 per child. Any family needing tuition assistance MUST complete the FACTS Grant & Aid application before applying for additional assistance.

Landkammer Endowment/Kremer Foundation
If further tuition assistance is needed please complete a Landkammer Scholarship application, available on request in the school office. Families must be Catholic to receive assistance.
