Holy Ghost Prep

Located in Bensalem, Pennsylvania, this school was founded in 1897. It is a private, Catholic school with over a century of history, dedicated to providing quality education for young people preparing for college. We have had students attend this school, and I have personally visited it; the academics are very rigorous.
