To Be, Rather Than to Seem

Sisters of the Holy Names Gallery

The history of the Sisters of the Holy Names tells how a group of dedicated religious women, following in the footsteps of Blessed Marie Rose, met the needs of the place and time and brought Catholic education to the Tampa Bay area. Since that day in 1881, their work has inspired and transformed countless generations of students, parents and the community at large.


The Academy of the Holy Names is grateful for the generous support from the following alumni, parents,
grandparents, and friends who helped make the dream of a Heritage Center possible.
