Holy Cross has a new principal this year that is implementing some great new things. So far they have a brand new website www.hcscrusaders.com, twitter, facebook, and instagram accounts that are updated frequently. There are two new after school programs being offered related to science and engineering that the students are raving over. The teachers and staff are very professional and you can tell that they love what they do. A brand new Pre-K 3 year old class is starting in January and just a few weeks ago they had a fall festival that was open to students, parents, PREP, alumni, and the parish. The only reason I did not give them 5 stars is because I know that no place is perfect, but they strive to improve and make the school better each and every day!

I am extremely happy and incredibly impressed on what Holy Cross has to offer. They have a music, Spanish, computer and physical education program that my a children rave about each day. The new Crusader Cares Program is giving the children a chance to Pay it Forward! It is so nice to see that Student of the Month has made a return! There are so many wonderful implantations this year! I am very thankful for all the staff and new principal for all of their help for a new transition for us. I cannot be more happy on my choice of Holy Cross for my children. Thank you again!!!!

This is our first time at a Catholic school and it is very possible that this is just the way things are and my issues with the school are moot. I adore my child's teacher and I feel that she connects with my child very well. However, it is the atmosphere of the school that I am uncomfortable with. I feel that there is little to no communication between the parents and the school and when something falls through the cracks, it is made to seem like it is the parent's fault no matter how involved that parent may be. The teachers that are not my child's teachers and the principal do not seem very welcoming or approachable. My spouse and I both feel that no one smiles at the school unless they know you already. We really feel like outsiders and I don't feel that helps our child because we are all working together and yet we feel like we are on the outside of a clique. I would like to see more communication regarding something other than money. They are very quick to hand out mandatory fundraisers but neglect to mention other ways to help the school such as boxtops or labels for education.

I am sooooo pleased as are my children that we have a new principle. My children are happy and now. they love going to school. It was a problem for the last 5 years. I am estastic that Ms. Fitz took over as the principle. She is THE BEST AND LOVES CHILDREN!!!!!!! God must have heard everyone prayers! AMEN
