    Holy Family had a rich history in Nazareth. My children went there and moved on to Notre Dame High…read moreSchool. My son played D1 baseball and my daughter played D1 soccer all while maintaining high academic grades. They both have very successful careers and I have alweays given credit to Holy Family as the base of this. They had a great education and both of them returned to Nazareth, while my husband and I moved to Florida when we retired. We were so disappointed to hear about how much the school has recently changed, especially since the hiring of the new principal. Feedback from parents include lack of communication, transparency, structure, discipline, and the school unable to retain and attract teachers. Many people we know were heartbroken about these changes and had to make the decision to remove their children from the school and now many classes only have a few students. Anyone from Nazareth knows how tight this community is, so to make this change is not taken lightly. While Nazareth has a good public school system, my children wanted to give their children the same gift they were given, Catholic faith, small classes with warm teachers (most from Nazareth), our little community takes care of one another but unfortunately they had to make a decision to choose a school in Bethlehem. They choose a school that is what Holy Family used to be with a stable history of teachers, Catholic faith and great referrals from friends, family and the community. The bus and car ride will be a little longer, and the school is not in Nazareth but they had to make the decision that was right for them. Please bring back our little gem; please fix our Holy Family School. Please bring back administration that is from Nazareth and understands who we are before it's too late.

    As a family with firsthand experience with Holy Family, I strongly encourage prospective parents to…read morelook beyond the language of "family," faith, and community and ask detailed questions before enrolling or paying for programs and activities. Over time, our experience included repeated concerns involving communication, money paid for activities/programs, follow-through, and how legitimate parent concerns were handled. Problems can happen at any school. What matters is how leadership responds when they do. Unfortunately, our experience left us disappointed by the level of transparency, accountability, compassion, and willingness to resolve concerns. What makes this especially troubling is the contrast between the values promoted publicly and what a family can experience privately when raising an uncomfortable question. A Catholic school should model fairness, patience, respect, honesty, charity, and genuine concern for every family--not simply speak about those values. Prospective families should get policies, fees, refund terms, activity details, and important promises in writing and retain their records. Ask questions before paying nonrefundable fees and do not assume that describing a school community as a "family" necessarily means your experience will feel that way when a disagreement arises. There are undoubtedly caring individuals within the school community, but our overall experience caused us to seriously question whether the institutional culture consistently reflects the Catholic and family-centered values being presented to parents.
