Athletics
Welcome to the home of the Holy Cross Indians
Welcome to the TRIBE!
Message from the Director:
The benefits of participating in high school athletics are immediate and enduring. Holy Cross athletics offers a variety of co-curricular athletic activities. Our administrators, coaches, teachers, and boosters are committed to developing a well-rounded STUDENT-athlete. The students involved in our programs are guided toward learning valuable lessons through sports that will promote success in life. We strive to give opportunities to all willing to work hard, sacrifice for the team, and support the Holy Cross tradition of excellence.
You, as a Holy Cross Student-Athlete, are expected to demonstrate pride in yourself as a student, an athlete, and as a member of the Holy Cross Community at large. Our athletes are considered ambassadors of Holy Cross High School.
Parents of Holy Cross Athletes are commended for their support and for embracing the idea that you are the first role models to our student-athletes. Your examples of high standards of sportsmanship, expectations of academic excellence, and respect for administration and coaches have an immeasurable impact. This is the Holy Cross Way. This is the Holy Cross Tradition.
