Students at Holy Cross come from varied backgrounds including home schools, parochial and public schools. Holy Cross admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin. Non-Catholic students are welcome, however, it should be understood that the curriculum incorporates Catholic teaching. Attending religion classes and religious activities including Mass and Rosary is required for all students.
Enrollment has nearly doubled each year, but the Academy is committed to small
class sizes to ensure individualized instruction in order to maximize each
student's potential.
Neat and modest attire is required: shirt, tie, dress pants and shoes for boys; dress or skirt and blouse and shoes for girls. The dress code adds to the atmosphere of respect for self and others.
Students express individual interests by forming clubs and organizations. Many socialize outside of school. In the past, they have planned shopping outings and trips to amusement parks. Student government gives them the opportunity to organize activities and develop leadership. The Youth Group is a fun and interactive way of striving toward personal holiness, performing works of mercy and charity and putting into practice that which is learned in the classroom.
A visitor would see that Holy Cross looks very much like a family - there is a sincere concern for each student's total formation. Friendships develop here that will last a lifetime.
