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!

Our children have been attending Holy Cross School for five years. We are very satisfied with the quality of the education they are receiving. We feel that our children are being challenged academically while being exposed to weekly centered based studies including Art, Music, Technology, Spanish and Physical Education making the educational experience very well rounded. The campus is beautiful and well maintained. There is a real sense of community and parent involvement at this school.
