Safe school for those seeking a Catholic education. I would have liked to see more of an effort from administrators on connecting students who are not into sports. For example, the school musical rehearses at 6:30 pm. Many travel a distance to get to HCP and then in order to be in the musical, they have to go home and get a ride back at 6:30 pm for rehearsal. Just too long of a day for students and parents. The positives - the teachers really care about the students. They want them to succeed. I also liked the block scheduling as it was more like a college semester. Helped to prepare the students.

My son transferred to Holy Cross due to the college prep curriculum as well and to play football. Teachers are amazing and the coaches are amazing. We are thrilled with our decision to transfer. Go Lancers!!

Some great teachers, however the school is very clique based. If you don’t fit into a clique you’ll be pretty much alone throughout your years here.
