About Holy Spirit Catholic School
Guided by Faith, Grounded in Knowledge — serving the families of Kearney, Nebraska with a Pre-K through Grade 6 education built on Catholic values and academic excellence.
Our Story
Holy Spirit Catholic School has been a cornerstone of Catholic education in Kearney, Nebraska for generations. Founded in the spirit of the Holy Spirit parish, our school was established to provide families with an education that integrates faith and learning — preparing children not just for academic success, but for a life of purpose and service.
Over the decades, we have grown and evolved while remaining true to our founding mission. Today, we proudly serve students from Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 6, welcoming children of all backgrounds and faiths into our community.
Our dedicated faculty and staff bring passion and expertise to every classroom, creating an environment where students are known by name, challenged to grow, and celebrated for who they are.
Our Mission
Holy Spirit Catholic School is committed to providing a Christ-centered education that develops the whole child — spiritually, academically, socially, and emotionally. We partner with families and the parish to form young people of faith, knowledge, and character who are prepared to serve God and others.
