Holy Cross uses a block schedule throughout the academic school year. In order to accommodate the needs of the curriculum, the Academy has a block schedule that offers students eight class periods over a two-day period. Each day is designated a Purple Day or White Day. Students will have four classes each day (or three classes and a Study Hall).

All incoming 9th grade students should complete the summer reading assignment, due on the first day of class. 

Summer Reading Assignment

There is no Math assignment for students who have placed in Algebra 1, Honors Algebra 1 or Geometry. 

Students that have been placed in Honors Geometry or Honors Algebra 2 will be notified of any summer assignments via email by the Admissions Team no later than June 10, 2022. 

Each student at the Academy is expected to adhere to the required dress code and uniform policy and be in proper uniform at all times during the school day. All students will be required to wear the uniform on the first day of school.

 The uniform consists of:

• Gray skirt (either A-line, boxed pleat, or kilt), or tailored gray pants.
• The students’ choices of uniform tops include:
  • lavender, purple or white polo shirts
  • a white collared oxford shirt
  • white long-sleeved polo shirt or white turtleneck
  • A variety of  jackets/ sweatshirts:
    • Zip-up dark gray fleece jacket
    • Dark gray quarter-zip
    • Gray crewneck sweatshirt with Holy Cross written across the chest!

Uniform approved sweatshirts/zip ups can be purchased from the Tartan Shop!

All students must wear either sneakers or low solid-colored closed-toed and full backed leather shoes (such as the Sperry Boat Shoe)of their choice.

Slippers, clogs, heels, flip-flops, sandals, Crocs, Sanuks and boots are not uniform shoes.

Students can wear socks of their choice or solid black or gray tights/leggings when the weather becomes cold. Socks must accompany footless leggings.

Skirts are to be unrolled and must be no more than three inches above the knee.

If a t-shirt is worn under the uniform shirt, it must be a solid white and not seen under the sleeves of the polo or oxford.
