[[Image:Ltspkr.png]]'''[[Media:Nl-Heiloo.ogg|Heiloo]]''' is a municipality and a village in the [[Netherlands]], in the province of [[North Holland]]. The community is part of the cooperation region [[Kennemerland]] and is also in the historical region of [[West Friesland (historical region)|West Friesland]].
This is a '''list of high schools''' in [[New York City]].


Heiloo (From the Dutch ''heilige loo'', "sacred forest") was given its name because [[Saint Willibrord]] was said to have performed a miracle there around 690. The village has a town hall dating from 1926 and a chapel from the 12th century known as the ''Onze Lieve Vrouwe ter Nood''. In the 1950s and 1960s the population grew quickly as many residents of Amsterdam moved to the area. The village is near the city of [[Alkmaar]] where many residents work and attend school.

In the 1950s and 1960s the population grew quickly as many residents of Amsterdam moved to the area. The village is near the city of Alkmaar where many residents work and attend school.
