Why are all the pictures of Jesus at this school of a white Jesus? Jesus was not white. And students are called the Crusaders? Great. Instead of teaching tolerance like Jesus, lets name them after a violent religious group that wanted to fight another violent religious group.This picture is much more accurate than the white Jesus myth. Whos the guy in the robe?

Excellent school. Holy Cross offers good academics a very friendly and supportive environment based on Christian values. Students are taught to be independent, confident and competent. An important focus is community involvement for students and parents. Students at HCS grow up to be effective citizens who contribute more than they take from society!

Holy Cross school is a school that helps to develop our children academically, spiritually, & behaviorly. The communication from teachers is good because they let us know when to be concerned and when all is well!Our favorite part of this school is that we all work as a team to follow Christ and be Christ for others. Kids helping kids, parents helping parents, etc. It takes a village to raise a well rounded individual and Im so glad the teachers, principal, other parents and students will all have an impact on my children.The second best thing about Holy Cross school is the experiences outside of academics that the students are exposed to. Our kids bring food to food pantries, make backpacks filled with needed items for the poor, and much more. The students live their faith by giving to those in need. Its a great example to show the students that giving their time & treasures to others in need should always be a part of our life.Im so glad my kids attend Holy Cross.

Coming from a graduated student- Please do not waste your money here if you are looking for a better education and service go to St. Matts. I was in some accelerated classes here and even when i got into high school I still felt like I was behind the other students and had to take classes out side of school to catch up.

We chose Holy Cross School for our children when searching for options before our oldest entered kindergarten 3 years ago. We couldnt be happier.First things first: the academic environment is outstanding. My kids are thriving with a challenging curriculum combined with a teaching philosophy that leads to lots of personal attention. Their classrooms set high standards for behavior, which means that not only are they learning in a comfortable environment, they are also developing skills in self-discipline, personal responsibility, and respect that are going to last them a lifetime.The best part for our family, however, are the things that are taking place beyond the typical academic courses. There is a huge emphasis on service - classes at every grade level make community service a central focus of their time (assisting and visiting the elderly, feeding the hungry, helping the Humane Society, etc.) I cant overstate how awesome it is to have a school partner that is so invested in helping create kids who want to give of themselves to others.Another big difference Ive seen with Holy Cross School is the effort they put into healthy peer relationships. They pair younger kids with older student mentors starting in kindergarten, and have a great multiage/multigrade house program for those especially tough middle school years.Holy Cross is a Catholic school but its about as diverse a group of students as you could expect to find. All kinds of faith backgrounds, many different family backgrounds, so it creates a very welcoming community for anyone and everyone.They are launching a preschool program for 2014-2015, so while the school is K-8 now, it will soon be for 3 year olds through 8th grade.
