Balanced Excellence

The Balanced Excellence program is a cooperative effort of the Parents’ Association, Fine Arts Alliance and Holy Innocents' Athletic Association. Each year, funds raised through Balanced Excellence dues are divided equally between these organizations in order to support the entire spectrum of academic and extracurricular activities offered at Holy Innocents’. By paying $150 in dues, you help to improve the quality and caliber of our athletic and fine arts facilities, as well as a wide variety of academic programs. In return, your benefits include free admission for your family to home varsity games, all theatrical performances, and Spring Picnic and Carnival.

Please take a moment to write a check for your family’s dues, payable to HIES Parents’ Association, and mail to:

HIES Parents' Association
