The Academy of the Holy Cross, a Catholic College preparatory school sponsored by the Sisters of the Holy Cross since 1868, is dedicated to educating young women in a Christ-centered community which values diversity.

We seek to communicate a truly Christian worldview in which issues of today’s challenging environment are seen in the light of eternity. With a firm foundation in Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition as outlined by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, we challenge students to draw connections, build community, serve the marginalized and choose the good freely and with joy.
