TArtan Athletics

At The Academy of the Holy Cross, we believe athletics is a cornerstone of personal growth and community building. Our program is about much more than competition—it’s a journey of self-discovery and empowerment. Through sports, our student-athletes learn to embrace challenges, navigate adversity, and grow physically, mentally, and spiritually. We aim to create an environment where life lessons are learned, values are formed, and relationships are built that will last a lifetime. Athletics at Holy Cross is not just about playing the game—it’s about shaping the person you’ll become.

The Academy of the Holy Cross offers 16 sports and 27 teams, competing primarily in the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference. With over 70 student-athletes advancing to NCAA collegiate play since 2016, our athletics program fosters growth on and off the field. It’s a space to challenge yourself physically, mentally, and spiritually, while learning resilience, teamwork, and life lessons. Students build lifelong memories and friendships within a supportive community that strives to make these the best four years of their lives. Plus, our new 20,000-square-foot Athletics & Wellness Center—featuring a state-of-the-art gym, fitness center, bocce court, training rooms, and more—is set to elevate the experience even further.
