Discover Holy Cross
“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6
At Holy Cross Lutheran School, we strive to train up children in the way they should go, helping each child reach his potential physically, recreationally, aesthetically, intellectually, spiritually and emotionally in a Christ-centered environment.
How do we accomplish this?
Our teachers and staff are a dedicated group. Weekly chapels reinforce the daily message of God’s love which is shared in the classroom both in teaching and in practice.
Levelized reading and advanced placement Saxon math programs are exclusive and create the foundation for strong academic success.
Extensive music, band and art programs are part of the regular curriculum and bring a well-rounded approach to the educational experience, and competitive seasonal sports and physical education programs engage all students, regardless of their interests.
Weaving through our curriculum and instruction is a focus on technology and its proper use. A 1:1 Chromebook program paired with interactive white boards in the classroom, monitored, and advanced technology experience for each and every student.
At Holy Cross, we focus on P.R.A.I.S.E.
Physical needs for food, clothing and shelter as well as development and coordination
Recreational needs for social interaction, group interaction and enjoyment of activities
Aesthetic needs to appreciate, understand and participation musical and artistic areas
Intellectual needs to develop reasoning, communication and purposeful knowledge acquisition skills
Spiritual needs to have knowledge of their Lord and an active faith in their community
Emotional needs of love, security, self-esteem, acceptance and self-control

Holy Cross Lutheran School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin in the administration of its education policies, admissions policies, financial policies, athletics, or any other school-administered programs.
With an excellent curriculum and caring, supportive teachers, Holy Cross exceeded my expectations. I feel confident that the entire staff works to see every child reach their full potential.
