Life at
Holy Cross
Sisterhood, Strength
& Success
At Holy Cross, girls lead in every aspect. They believe they can do anything because they see girls doing everything.
Be a
Risk Taker
At Holy Cross, we provide a safe space where girls can embrace vulnerability, take on challenges, and grow into strong, confident young women. Here, students are encouraged to step out of their comfort zones, take risks, and explore their full potential. They excel academically, develop leadership skills, and gain confidence in areas like math, science, and public speaking. Supported by a community that fosters personal growth, our students learn the value of resilience and strength as they prepare to lead and succeed in the world.
Be a
Friend Maker
At Holy Cross, success is shared—one girl's achievements inspire the entire community. Whether in the classroom, on stage, or on the field, you’ll draw strength from those beside you. Over your years at the Academy, you’ll build a strong support system—peers, teachers, coaches, and more—rooting for your success. The friendships you form here will last a lifetime, with bonds that carry you through life’s highs and lows, well beyond your school years.
Be a
Path Finder
At Holy Cross, we believe in the uniqueness of each student. There’s no one way to define a Holy Cross girl, and we take pride in that diversity. Our focus is on supporting your personal growth, guiding you as you develop your own path and pursue your passions. From the moment you join us, we meet you where you are, encouraging you to explore your strengths and celebrating who you are every step of the way. Our commitment is to help you achieve your individual aspirations and become the best version of yourself.
Be a
Trail Blazer
Become part of the Holy Cross alumnae network, which includes a Director of Intergovernmental Affairs of the US State Department, a major, a meteorologist, political and social activists, actors, fashion designers, doctors, athletes, and individuals making extraordinary contributions in nonprofits, medicine, and business. Holy Cross graduates are part of a rich legacy and by joining Holy Cross, you’ll be connected to a proud tradition of excellence and achievement.
