My daughters received an excellent education at Holy Cross and have gone on to be successful at Western Kentucky University, The University of Louisville, and Bellarmine University. I am grateful for the staff and administration for their hard work and dedication. Thank you!"

"My daughter received the most incredible foundation for college and life, academically, spiritually and socially, from her quality education at Holy Cross.  I wouldn’t think twice about sending her siblings to Holy Cross because there is a unique family atmosphere that lasts forever.  Thanks to the Holy Cross faculty for making it possible for Taylor to receive one of the many full scholarships to the University of Louisville.”    

-Terri Ichinose 1977, Taylor 2011, Brooke and Brittany 2016

"Holy Cross High School was an excellent choice for our twins.  They were both challenged appropriately for their academic aptitude, resulting in state and national recognition.   But that’s only a small part of what Holy Cross did to prepare them for their future.  Holy Cross provided a strong, nurturing, and diverse school community where they were encouraged to explore their talents both inside and outside the classroom.  The school environment allowed them grow on many levels.  We are very grateful for Holy Cross High School and the opportunities it provided our children!!”

Ken and Danette Doggett, parents of Ali and Lydia 2011 and Nate 2016
