Student Life
Holy Names Academy emphasizes academics, community service, ethics and leadership. The curriculum includes four years of religion, covering the topics of world cultures, scripture literature, ecclesiology/service and contemporary problems. In 2012-2013, the school offers Advanced Placement (AP) courses in 16 subjects; 98% of the graduating class of 2012 took one or more AP exams. HNA often pairs with O'Dea High School, an all-boys Catholic school, for social events such as dances like Homecoming and Winter Ball, though the Academy hosts its Junior and Senior proms separately from O'Dea. In addition, the school hosts its own homecoming.

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or life:
“It is clear that everybody interested in science must be interested in world 3 objects. A physical scientist, to start with, may be interested mainly in world 1 objects—say crystals and X-rays. But very soon he must realize how much depends on our interpretation of the facts, that is, on our theories, and so on world 3 objects. Similarly, a historian of science, or a philosopher interested in science must be largely a student of world 3 objects.”
—Karl Popper (1902–1994)
“I long ago come to the conclusion that all life is six to five against.”
—Damon Runyon (1884–1946)
