Holy Cross Catholic School Mission Statement

We, Holy Cross Catholic School, take Jesus as our model, in order to serve our diverse parish, surrounding parishes, and our entire neighborhood. We open doors to a rigorous Catholic education for all children, kindergarten through eighth grade. The school, in the light of Christ, nurtures, affirms, and challenges students in their pursuit of learning and the responsibilities of faith and citizenship.

Holy Cross Catholic School               Core Values

Belief
We guide children to a deeper understanding of their faith and inspire them to take a Christ-like role in the world, acting on faith and nourishing hope.

Learning
We challenge students to high academic exploration and achievement.

Righteousness
We form young people and their families to serve as Jesus served and further God’s justice in the world.

Family
We strengthen the bonds of family, the first source of education and spiritual enlightenment. As part of the Body of Christ, we also enfold children in our nurturing Christian family.
