School Notes Overview: |
Holy Cross School is an independent, Catholic, college preparatory middle and high school founded in 1879 by the Congregation of Holy Cross to educate young men from metropolitan New Orleans. Holy Cross is fully accredited by the Louisiana State Department of Education and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools as a college preparatory school for boys in grades 5-12. Father Basil Moreau, Founder of the Congregation of Holy Cross, stated our mission:"We can state in a word the kind of teaching we wish to impart. We do not want our student to be ignorant of anything they should know. To this end, we shall avoid no sacrifice. We shall always place education side by side with instruction; the mind will not be cultivated at the expense of the heart. While we prepare useful citizens for society, we shall likewise do our utmost to prepare citizens for eternal life.
