Established in February, 2008, I Believe in HFA is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to sustaining Holy Family Academy through 2009, and advancing the school for the future.  Through fundraising efforts, marketing campaigns, strategic planning and general support, I Believe in HFA is uniting parents, faculty, current and prospective students, alumni, and community leaders to ensure a future for HFA.

In 1925, five valiant women possessing a simple and sincere faith in God embarked on a great task.  The city of Bayonne was sorely in need of a Catholic high school, and the Sisters of St. Joseph created a secondary institution which would provide for the intellectual and spiritual needs of the city's youth.  Through prayer and perseverance, the sisters secured buildings; and soon a new educational trend came into being, a trend which was destined to grow to great proportions.

Holy Family Academy has emerged as an outstanding institution of learning, meeting preferences for a cultural, intellectual, and spiritual education for young women.  Fully accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, Holy Family's curricular and co-curricular programs help students prepare for schools of higher education and successful careers.

After 83 years of generous support, the Sisters of St. Joseph of Chestnut Hill announced that after June 2009, they will no longer own, operate or sponsor the school.  I Believe in HFA has been formed to continue the mission of Holy Family, independent of the support of the Sisters of St. Joseph.
