History
Holy Cross was opened in 1957 by the Brothers of Holy Cross as the only Catholic, college preparatory, school primarily serving students of the West and South Sides of the city. Today, Holy Cross serves students from all over the city and remains the only Catholic, Coeducational, College preparatory school serving students in grades 6th through 12th.
The Brothers of Holy Cross provide an educational mission tried and proven for more than 175 years. In the tradition of our founder, Blessed Father Basil Anthony-Marie Moreau, CSC, the Brothers understand the importance of providing educational opportunities to students of all abilities in order to develop their spiritual, intellectual, social, and physical capacities.
