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.

This school was a big let down for me, I was very excited to attend but then once I settled in it was very underwhelming. It's not very diverse and the education isn't very good. Overall, it doesn't feel like school that's prepping me for college

Holy Cross has been an exceptional school for me. The curriculum is challenging yet rewarding, and the teachers genuinely invest in our success. The school's values-based education is a big plus.

I genuinely want to give it a glowing five-star review. The teachers, for the most part, are exceptional—dedicated individuals who truly care about their students' growth and success. 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.
