I love my school. I have had a wonderful four years there. The activities, the teachers (especially my English, Math and Social Studies) teachers. The school is slowly making their own changes, so I won't change anything expect the shoes if we could wear sneakers again. I love Holy Cross High School and I would choose it again if I had to.

I love Holy cross high school because it was a very small school and they have very good help if you needed it for assignments. They helped me when I didn't understand and the teachers were very good. I played basketball there for my 4 years and it wasn't the best thing because they did not take it that serious until my last year when we got a new coach. The kids that go there are nice and funny and I have made a lot of friends coming out of holy cross high school. The cafeteria is nice because that's the only area with air conditioning and the food was pretty good but it was pricey. The clubs wasn't anything big and they did not promote it at all. I'm happy I went there though because of the small school you feel like you know everyone who walks in the hallway and you feel like a big family .

They ignite a passion for learning and foster a wonderful community that feels supportive and inspiring. However, th...

This school is not safe. Do not send your child here. Kids are bullied (like the other review said) and there are constant physical fights. Vaping and pot use on school grounds and principal does nothing. Teachers don't care, most don't even teach a thing. Better off at public school.

Admin does not keep a safe environment. Bullying is rife, particularly amidst the female population. Corrupt dynamic between admin and fundraiser leadership - the school is desperate for money and has a suspicious situation with certain capital projects. You are better off taking your chances on pub...

My child is completing freshman year and will not be returning. From an academic standpoint, the education is inferior to equally priced Catholic schools in the area. Communication from most teachers and administrators was found wanting and turnover appears to be an issue. The environment is chaotic...
