I've been at Holy Cross High School for about two years now, and overall it's been a really solid experience. The teachers are supportive and will help you if you put in the effort, especially if you go for extra help. There are also a good amount of clubs and sports, so it's not hard to find something to get involved in. The workload can be challenging at times, but I think it prepares you well for college. Overall, I'm glad I chose Holy Cross.

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.
