HOME & SCHOOL ASSOCIATION
About the HSA
The Academy of the Holy Cross Home and School Association (HSA) is our primary parent and guardian organization, dedicated to supporting our daughters, faculty, and the broader school community.
Through events and initiatives aligned with the school’s mission, the HSA fosters connection, service, and school spirit while helping families build lasting relationships. It offers meaningful opportunities for parents and guardians to engage socially, spiritually, and in service to the community that supports their daughters.
In partnership with faculty and staff, the HSA, along with the Fathers & Friends Club, helps sustain the traditions that make the Holy Cross experience so distinctive. From cherished events like the Communion Breakfast to the Senior Tea, these efforts create lasting memories for our daughters.
All parents and guardians are encouraged to get involved. Whether volunteering, sharing ideas, or participating in events, engagement in the HSA is a valuable way to connect with other families and become an active part of the Holy Cross\ community.
Fathers & Friends Club
The Fathers & Friends Club is an active group of dads/guardians and friends who coordinate activities that enrich the lives of our daughters and help the Holy Cross community. Their signature event is the Fathers & Friends/Daughter Dance but they also work as parking attendants at dances, coach Powder Puff football and serve a morning bagel breakfast, among other things. Fathers and Friends gather quarterly to socialize, foster friendships and plan events.
