Holy Spirit High School (New Jersey)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Holy Spirit High School is a Roman Catholic high school located in Absecon, New Jersey (just outside of Atlantic City). The school is under the jurisdiction of the Diocese of Camden. The school motto is Caritas Omnia Vincit.

The school is under the limited governance of an independent Board of Trustees. The Bishop of Camden, currently Joseph A. Galante, is responsible for the proper teaching of the Catholic faith, the proper celebration of the sacraments and the overall Catholic identity of the institution. The President/Principal serves as the Chairman of the Board of Trustees and the chief administrative officer of Holy Spirit High School.

In the 1970s through the late 1980s, Holy Spirit made a name for itself in men's rowing, winning several national championships and competing several times at the Henley Regatta on the River Thames by the town of Henley-on-Thames, England. This rowing success led to an entry in The Official Preppy Handbook in 1980. Women's rowing continued the legacy, winning at Henley in 2004.
