Extracurricular Activities
About 96% of the student body is involved in some type of extracurricular activity. A full-time trainer and new weight lifting facility has helped the performance of the Holy Cross Lancers on the field, court, pole vault runway, and the bowling alley.
In 2006, Holy Cross created a new, redesigned Dance Team program with a custom dance studio that was completed that summer. Holy Cross features three annual drama events: a fall play, a Christmas production, and a spring musical. The 2008-09 lineup included Noises Off in October 2008, A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols, in December 2008 and a spring musical that runs in April.
An entire week of games and activities lead up to the big game and the homecoming dance. "Spirit Week" draws alumni, friends, family, and the curious in general.
Holy Cross' student government format is a Student Council and is open to anyone in the student body who wishes to be involved. While the Student Council Executive Board (SCEB) has a president and other positions, it takes ideas and opinions from anyone regardless of rank. The board is responsible for many of the year's events, including formal dances, homecoming activities, etc.

“Minds do not act together in public; they simply stick together; and when their private activities are resumed, they fly apart again.”
