Holy Cross Academy Core Values

Faith Formation - Catholicism is an evangelizing faith, nurtured and lived through prayer and in deed. Catholic schools, in all that they do and for every member of the school community, are expected to be purposeful in providing opportunities for this formative process.

Academic Excellence - Every child in every Catholic school is to be given the opportunity to experience academic success. Resources and methodology are combined to provide students with a classroom environment that is challenging, yet nurturing.

Community - Catholic schools are communities of learners, ministers, and servants. Mindful of the task of developing within each community member a personal relationship with Christ, doctrinal instruction, meaningful liturgies, and service opportunites come together in the everyday life of the school community.

Social Justice - Catholic schools can never disregard the Church's special regard for the poor, the ostracized, and the weak. School curriculums need to incorporate this mission into both service opportunities and academic instruction.

Stewardship - Only by helping students understand what true stewardship means-a voluntary giving of time, talent, and treasure-can a child grow into adulthood that fully grasps the meaning of 'stewards of the earth and of each other".
