How Can I keep from SingingLed by Sarah Hanna, Music Teacher - Please join in singing from your vehicle or home.

Steve Gromala, Principal

Vs. 1 - My life flows on in endless song;

Above earth’s lamentation.

I hear the real though far-off hymn

That hails a new creation.

Refrain - No storm can shake my inmost calm,

While to that rock I’m clinging.

Since Love is Lord of heaven and earth,

How can I keep from singing?

Vs. 2 - Through all the tumult and the strife;

I hear that music ringing;

It sounds and echoes in my soul;

How can I keep from singing?

Be my way; be my truth; be my life, my Lord,

vehicle and walk towards a table at center stage. The graduate's official diploma as well

as any awards will be placed on the table for the graduate to claim. In the event of rain,

the entire vehicle should proceed forward and the diplomas and awards will be handed

to the graduate through an open window.

Harmann Studios will be on hand to take an official photo of the graduate. Due to

COVID-19 restrictions, we ask all parents and family members to remain inside their

Additionally, the 8th Grade Parent Planning Committee has a gift for each graduate and a

lantern will be sent to the heavens in his or her honor.

The entire service and graduation will be broadcast on Facebook Live at

attending the service and graduation ceremony.

H I S T O R Y O F H O L Y F A M I L YIn June of 1954, ground was broken on a facility that would house both a church, social hall and school on South Fisk Street. The churchand school was named St. Agnes. It was named after the first parish Bishop Bona said Mass at after being ordained. St. Agnes opened thefollowing year with an enrollment of 450 students, and was staffed by the Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity of Manitowoc. Due to thepopularity of the school, a second story was added to the building in 1958. After many years of planning, construction began on a new church for the St. Agnes congregation in 1972. The first Mass was held in thenew St. Agnes on November 3, 1973. As Green Bay's west side continued to grow, a new church was proposed in 1978. The new parishwould be named St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church and it opened for it's first Mass on July 10, 1983. Both parishes were strong supporters of Catholic education, and due to their unending support, it was decided to change the name of theschool to that of Holy Family. In 2008, when GRACE (Green Bay Area Catholic Education) was formed, it was decided that Holy Familywould also serve the parish communities of Nativity of our Lord Catholic Church, St. Jude Catholic Church, Annunciation Catholic Church,St. Patrick Catholic Church and St. Joseph Catholic Church. In the fall of 2017, Holy Family became one of only seven middle schools in Wisconsin to become an International Baccalaureate School,following the implementation of IB at Notre Dame Academy. In January of 2019, Holy Family adopted a new logo in collaboration with Holy Family School in the Walthamstrow area of London, England. It's pledges Faith, Knowledge and Friendship to the 210+ students and families it serves.
