Holy Family School (Seattle, Washington)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Holy Family School is a Roman Catholic K-8 school on Seattle's southern city limits in the neighborhood of White Center. Founded in 1927, it represented, literally, the end of the line. "We were the last bus stop in the city," said alumna Madeline Williams, a member of the first graduating class of 1930.

The Holy Family community has traditionally been a point of entry for immigrant families new to the Northwest. For instance, its parish was among the first in Seattle to open its doors to Vietnamese families in the 1970s and 80s.

Today, more than 72 percent of its student body are children of many colors, representing many nations and faiths.
