HISTORY OF OUR SCHOOL

 

In the spring of 1936 construction got underway for Holy Cross School. When the school was built it was ‘u’ shaped, but after the enrollment of students increased, renovation took place. Because of the renovation the building is square with a courtyard in the center of the square. A gymnasium and cafeteria were added,  along with the primary building in 1964. Throughout the years hallways and classrooms have been updated and we now feature a modern science lab and computer center. 

 

The Sisters of Mercy served the school for many years. Currently it is staffed by lay teachers.  Many alumni have returned to the area to live and have enrolled their children in Holy Cross, knowing the excellent education and values they experienced will be received by their children.

 

Tuition for the 2010-2011 school year is as follows:

  • $2,073.00 for one child
  • $3,026.00 for two children
  • $3,312.00 for three children
  • $3,591.00 for four or more

Tuition figures are based on school families being active, supporting, registered Holy Cross parishioners.  Cost per child to educate is $3,973.00; parish subsidies make up the difference.

Book/Administrative Fees are:

  • $175 for one child
  • $350 for two children
  • $525 for three children
