Our Mission
Holy Cross High School’s mission is focused on setting high expectations for students; demanding everything students can give and accepting nothing less. Our philosophy is that all students, despite varying ability, are capable of satisfying these high expectations given a personalized education, small class sizes, and a wide-ranging curriculum that meets needs at all academic levels.
For this reason, we have adopted the motto, “A Size For All”, which symbolizes our efforts, through our diverse academic and co-curricular programs, to give students the opportunity to achieve academically, to excel athletically, and to participate in numerous clubs and organizations. While Holy Cross High School is small in size, it is large enough to offer programs and services found at much larger schools.
Meeting the needs of all students is our commitment.
Holy Cross District High School provides quality Catholic education for all of its students through the deeply rooted commitment of the Holy Cross school community to education, diversity, family, and religion.
Education: Holy Cross has a strong educational program geared to the needs of all its students.
Diversity: Holy Cross is proud of its diversity in accepting all of its students and challenging them to grow in acceptance of themselves and others.
Family: Holy Cross is a caring family of teachers, staff, parents, and students not only of the present, but also the past, building together the future of Holy Cross.
Religion: Through the call of Jesus in loving service to one another, Holy Cross stresses dedication to a vibrant faith-life through programs of service, community worship, spiritual days of reflection, and traditional instruction in the faith.
"Holy Cross High School is a place that demands everything you can give, and nothing less, and in return gives you undying loyalty and friendship."
This statement was taken from a speech given on “Leadership Day” in 1998 by Mrs. Susan Schlarman, a former teacher now deceased.
