Campus Tours Small group Holy Ghost Prep campus tours will take place throughout the school year on weekday evenings and weekend mornings. Tours include an outside walk of the campus, a visit to a small number of indoor academic spaces, followed by a question and answer session. Visit www.ThinkGhost.org for more information and to sign up.
Learn About HGP The HGP Information Program is a nutsand-bolts conversation about Holy Ghost Prep. Different from open houses and tours, this event provides a detailed and in-depth look at the school, our mission, and our programs. This information program will be available in the Fall (primarily focused on 8th grade families) and Spring semesters (primarily for 6th and 7th grade families).
