In keeping with our basic Catholic School philosophy, computer education is an integral part of the school curriculum at Holy Family Cathedral School. By providing experiences necessary for computer competency, students will be prepared to take their places in contemporary society.

The well-equipped, 36-station, computer lab at Holy Family Cathedral School is programmed so that all students, Grades K - 8, have an opportunity to attend the school's computer lab for a weekly 45-minute session.
