Holy Cross Collegiate is a grade 7 to 12
school offering a complete educational experience. We are beginning our
sixth year with an enrolment of 286. Our primary reason for being is to
share and spread the gospel of Jesus Christ. Our school motto says it all,
“He Died for Us, We Live for Him”. Students and staff are
expected to follow in Christ’s footsteps at all times since we believe
that to truly develop the many blessings Christ has given us, we must use the
gifts as well as witness the gifts in others.
We ask our students to commit to three key dimensions in our school. First,
strive to develop an active relationship with Jesus Christ. This can be done by
participating in daily prayer, monthly celebrations and various faith based
activities. Second, commit to being the best academic students they can
be. Every subject needed to complete both a junior high and high school
program is offered at HCC. We support each student’s efforts for personal
excellence with a “No zero” policy (including study hall, selective
re-writes and 8 academic reports per year). Staff members consistently provide
extra help before and after school. Third, participate in some of the variety
of clubs and athletic activities and teams throughout the year.
We firmly believe that parents are essential in the education process. Parents
are the first and most continuous educators of their children. Holy Cross
Collegiate has an open door policy and is always open to feedback. We invite
all parents to get actively involved with the school. There are many ways to
get involved and we hope to see our parents often at the school. Together we
will provide the best education possible for the Holy Cross students. Parents
are encouraged to attend all athletic events and volunteer with the hot lunch
program. Most of all we encourage parents to become active through our School
Council. Drop in, introduce yourself and become part of the Holy Cross
experience…home of the Hawks!!!
On behalf of the staff and administration, we wish every student success,
remembering "He Died for Us, We Live for Him".
Finally, I would like to extend my sincere thanks to all of the staff, parents
and students who work so hard in creating an atmosphere of learning and faith.
Your high expectations are present in all that you do. Our success as a school
is due to your dedication to excellence.
