Where Students Belong
Formation doesn't stop at the classroom door. Through faith, the arts, athletics, and activities, students at Holy Rosary build friendships, discover their gifts, and grow into who they are meant to be.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
The Formation of the Whole Person
Holy Rosary forms more than strong students. It forms whole people. Beyond a rigorous classical education, students grow in faith, express themselves through the arts, build character through athletics, and make lasting friendships through the traditions that fill the year.
Living Our Faith
Faith Woven Through the Day
At Holy Rosary, faith is not confined to a class period. It is woven naturally into each day through prayer, weekly Mass, the sacraments, and the rhythm of the liturgical seasons. Students grow in virtue through daily practice, service to the Anchorage community, and traditions that make the faith tangible and joyful. Families of all faiths, and none, are welcome here. There is no pressure to convert, only a shared commitment to truth, goodness, and virtue.
- Morning, noon, and afternoon prayer
- Weekly all-school Mass
- The sacraments and Confession

Fine Arts
A Love of Beauty, Expressed
A classical education treasures beauty. Students at every grade level sing, perform, recite, and create, building confidence and discovering their gifts along the way. From memorized poetry in the youngest grades to full-scale drama productions in the upper school, the arts are woven through the entire year.
- Festival of Poetry and Song (K–12)
- Advent Lessons and Carols
- Full-scale drama productions
- Music and choir
- Annual Art Show
- Poetry recitations (K–8) and Latin declamations
- Saint skits in the younger grades
- Dance instruction before the Grad Ball
Athletics
Compete With Character
Athletics at Holy Rosary are about the development of the whole student-athlete: physical, mental, and personal. Students in grades 5 through 12 can join a team, build discipline and sportsmanship, and learn to compete with character. We believe an active, healthy body supports a sharp and engaged mind, and that the growth students find on the field carries back into the classroom
- Indoor and outdoor soccer
- Volleyball
- Basketball
- Track and field
ACTIVITIES
Where Friendships and Traditions Are Made
Some of the best memories happen outside the classroom. Holy Rosary's traditions, clubs, and events give students a full and joyful school life, and build the friendships and shared history that hold the community together year after year.
- Guilds (grades 7–12)
- Roman Games (fall)
- Science Fair and Career Day
- Monthly spirit days and Pizza Day
- Family Skate Night and bonfire traditions
- Pancake Brunch
- Grad Ball and etiquette dances
A Community That Lasts
Ask a Holy Rosary family what they love most, and many will say the same thing: the people. Students, parents, faculty, and alumni pursue truth, goodness, and beauty together, building lifelong friendships and traditions that carry on for years. Many graduates return, some as parents of the next generation of students.
“Our family has been part of this wonderful school community for over ten years, and I can't speak highly enough about it. The classical curriculum is both enriching and engaging, ensuring a high standard of education but also beautifully integrates Catholic faith into daily learning, fostering a nurturing spiritual environment. What truly sets this school apart, though, are the incredible teachers and staff members who go above and beyond every single day.”
