Welcome to Holy Ghost Prep

At Holy Ghost Prep, a premier all-boys high school, classes are small, so interaction is a given. With a 9-to-1 student-to-faculty ratio, our unmatched faculty will get to personally know each student, as well as his hopes and dreams. All of our graduates go to college, so students leave Ghost perfectly equipped to make those dreams come true.

Academic Excellence

As our Holy Ghost Prep name suggests, we prep our students for what’s next. Academic aspirations at Holy Ghost Prep unfold in small class-size settings that reach beyond textbooks, note-taking, and tests.
