The Holy Cross High School Guidance Department works with faculty, parents, students, and local agencies to ensure that each individual student is fully supported in terms of academic, career, and social/emotional development. In conjunction with the mission of our school, we aim to guide students through schedule changes and course selections, college and career planning, test coordination, learning and utilizing coping skills, crisis events, improving peer relationships, and one on one or group discussions. Students are encouraged to seek out their school counselor for assistance and support.

Every scholarship has different criteria.
Students can create an account in the system and answer eligibility questions. At the completion of the questions, they will be directed to the scholarship they qualify for.

Policy on Bullying
Holy Cross students have created the following school policy.
“In recognition of the dignity and respect each individual is due; Holy Cross will follow the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program definition of bullying and school wide rules for anti-bullying."
By definition, “Bullying is when someone repeatedly and on purpose says or does mean or hurtful things to another person who has a hard time defending himself or herself.”
