Holy Family School is our St. Ambrose school. In
1980, five parishes joined to form Holy Family School:
All Saints, Basilica of St. John, St. Ambrose, St.
Peter, and Visitation. In 1999, the Holy Family
School was remodeled, expanded, and additional
classrooms were added. The total cost to rebuild Holy
Family was approximately $2.4 million. Holy Family
has a $3.8 million endowment. St. Ambrose (along with
the four other parishes) provides financial support to
Holy Family. We encourage families with elementary or
junior high school age children to attend Holy Family.
There are approximately 220 total students currently
enrolled at Holy Family. Holy Family School is one of
the most diverse schools in Iowa and is often referred
to as the “Catholic United Nations School.” Currently,
Holy Family has the following composition: 33%
Caucasian, 29% Hispanic, 21% Asian, 7% Sudanese, 6%
African-American, and 4% bi-racial.
