Founded in 1927, Holy Family School represented - literally - the end of the line for those who lived in the South Seattle. "We were the last bus stop in the city," said alumna Madeline Williams, a member of the first graduating class of 1930.

Seven decades later, Holy Family continues to be a special place. The buses may continue well south of her doors, but, in many ways, the familiar brick campus remains the last stop for many families. As part of the White Center neighborhood, the Holy Family community has traditionally been a point of entry for immigrant families new to the Northwest. For instance, our parish was among the first in Seattle to open its doors to Vietnamese families in during the 1970's and 1980's.

Today, 85 percent of our children are of many colors, representing many nations and faiths. The school's cultural riches are a source of immense pride to us. Students see and respect each other's traditions, not as part of special once-a-year "Multicultural Day" celebrations, but as part of everyday life. We are a place where differences are embraced and celebrated as a true example of the American ideal.

We embrace our traditions, and we build on the past with new ideas to prepare our students for the future. We provide an education filled with strong Catholic beliefs. We emphasize the importance of leadership and teamwork in all that we do. We also provide a rigorous academic program that will prepare our students for the high school of their choice as well as for life.
