It feels like a family at holy cross. However, because there is not a lot of funding for things not already established it is hard to start new big projects.

Very friendly staff, teachers are passionate in teaching and create fun ways for students to interact. Down size lunch offered is not great considering students pay for it . The school is either hot in the summer or cold in the winter there is no Ac or heating. The school can be more diverse.

My third child knew in 7th grade that he wanted to go to Holy Cross, I'm not sure why but I'm sure glad that he did. After my two older children attended Pomparaug HS I see the comparison in the two schools as night and day. You can argue over which school has better teachers, programs, courses and...
