Holy Name Catholic School accepts both Catholic & non-Catholic students from surrounding areas.
Families who would like to register their student at Holy Name Catholic School should:
- Schedule initial visit with the principal/office staff to go over enrollment information and tour the campus.
- Give permission to obtain written records from student’s transferring school.
- Work with Office Staff on acceptable payment plan and obtain all records required for enrollment.
The principal will review all information pertaining to a potential student’s academic history, behavior, medical and learning needs before accepting a new student into the school. If a student’s needs cannot be met at Holy Name, the principal will refer the family to other educational programs in the Sheridan area. Once accepted, the school will need at least one day’s notice before students are admitted to classes. Home School/Part-time Students Tuition determined on an individual basis.
Tuition Payment Options
- Payment made in full directly to the school office at spring registration.
- Payment of partial tuition cost directly to school in August and the remainder in January.
- Monthly payments through automatic withdrawal.
- Quarterly payments through automatic withdrawal.
All fees and tuition for the previous school year must be paid before a student may attend classes at Holy Name Catholic School. Non-payment of registration results in a child’s enrollment being put on hold. If financial arrangements are not made, the school may use the means necessary to collect tuition amounts owed. Tuition assistance is available for families who qualify. Applications are available in the school office. All tuition assistance information is kept strictly confidential.
If a parent has the ability to pay the full cost tuition amount ($9000.00 per student), which is unsubsidized by the Church, we ask that you do so. Registration for school is held each year in the spring. This procedure gives preference to all Catholic and current families.
Enrollment:
Parents are required to provide copies of the birth and baptismal certificates for their child(ren) at the time of enrollment. Students entering kindergarten must be five years old by August 1.

Holy Name Catholic School admits students of any race, color, nationality and ethnic origin with all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities made available to students at the school. Holy Name Catholic School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, nationality and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic or other school-administered programs.

Our Curriculum
Holy Name Catholic School (HNCS) curriculum follows the educational standards mandated by the Wyoming Department of Education and the National Core Standards. HNCS is dedicated to educating the whole person through a program of both academic excellence and the teaching of values and morals that reflect our Christian beliefs.

Religion is a core subject, taught daily focusing on the Gospels, 10 Commandments, service to others and God’s love for everyone. Students participate in planning and celebrating the Liturgy, Penance services and other religious observances. Students in the second grade are prepared for Reconciliation and First Communion. A school Mass is held every Friday at 8:20 a.m. and parents and family members are always welcome to attend.
HNCS has an exceptional community filled with committed teachers, staff, and stakeholders and is excited to offer strong academic core classes such as Religion, Mathematics, Reading, Science, Social Studies, Language Arts and Writing as well as advanced classes with small group instruction. Students are enriched with several specials: Spanish, Computer Science, Art, Music, PE and Library.
