Looking for an exceptional grade school?
We have one at Holy Cross!
Our academic objectives are high, and our students commonly
score above average on standardized tests. The education
provided at Holy Cross expands beyond rote knowledge, but
extends into personal application, allowing them to draw
on the strength that is theirs through Christ. Our first
priority is to give our students a Christ-centered education
in a safe environment. Respect, responsibility, and compassion
are emphasized.
"The fear (awe) of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge."
(Proverbs 1:7)
