Guidance in developing an open mind, appreciation of truth and motivation with the desire to learn are the goals of Holy Cross School. Students learn that responsibility is a part of life and are guided to accept responsibility as Christians for their actions.

St. James has offered an excellent religious education in a disciplined setting for nearly 150 years.
