Both of my children attended Holy Cross School from PreK through 8th Grade and are currently in private high school. Holy Cross has challenging academics in a safe, warm and nurturing environment. Teachers work hard to partner with parents to achieve the best for each student. Any concerns I brought forward were addressed immediately and to our satisfaction. My kids had a great experience, we loved the involved parent community and the faith based values. Holy Cross School was a great investment for our family!
