Holy Name of Mary Catholic School offers an outstanding education for students from Nursery - 8th grade. Our students reside in Valley Stream and the surrounding areas including Elmont, Malverne, Rosedale, Springfield Gardens, East Rockaway, Baldwin, Laurelton, Hempstead, Freeport, Franklin Square and Woodmere.
The education at Holy Name of Mary, including curriculum, technology, extracurricular activities and faith experiences, is especially tailored to meet the educational, emotional, spiritual, and social needs of our students enrolled in our early childhood, elementary, and middle school programs.
Our goal is to create a faith-filled learning environment where students are able to excel both in and out of the classroom, during their time here as students and beyond.

Dear Holy Name of Mary Families;
It is with great honor that I join the community as the principal of Holy Name of Mary School. From my observations, Holy Name of Mary is a very close knit community. It is a privilege to be part of such a strong community and I am very excited about the upcoming school year.
Prior to becoming the principal, I had almost twenty five years of experience as a teacher, an administrator and curriculum writer. I have worked in elementary, middle schools and a high school. When I was a teacher, I taught English Language Arts and Social Studies. As an administrator my areas of focus were student academic growth and student discipline. I am thrilled to use some of my skills as the school’s educational leader.
Catholic schools hold a very special place in my heart. I attended catholic school for most of my life. I met my husband while attending catholic school together and my daughter attends catholic school. The morals, values and lessons that are taught in catholic schools (in partnership with what is taught at home) are key for a child’s development and success. I am committed to making sure that these morals, values and lessons remain at the forefront of your child’s education.
Academically, my vision is to ensure each child is receiving the type of education that is needed for success in the future. At Holy Name of Mary, we pride ourselves on having small class sizes. This instructional design leads to more personalized learning and attention for each child. We provide a rigorous academic program. Feel free to look at our website for more information on our academic program. We have openings in some grades, if you know anyone who may be interested in joining our community, please reach out.
Thank you for choosing our school! I look forward to meeting all of you in the upcoming weeks. Feel free to reach out in the meantime mvelasco5578@gmail.com.
Peace and Blessings,
Marcia Velasco
