In my final year at this high school to say the least I think it was quite interesting. As a freshman when I started at this school to be completely honest it was absolutely terrible. But over the years that I've been here with the new administration, it is starting to look better than it's ever been. Honestly, some of the teachers are very dedicated but some others tend to focus on other things inside the school's curriculum...Academics in some areas are strong but in others, I feel like I've been completely cheated in the fact that if you are in some type of important sport and fail as an athlete teachers boost your grade so you can participate, which is honestly so sad that they pass those who put absolutely no effort in there work and allow them to play there sport for the school. As far as resources go and college readiness goes, for the most part, it's all there within the student's grasp but it is ultimately up to the student if they wish to advance and be successful.

I attended Holy Cross for seven years and every day was a different story. All students were subject to bullying by any member of the football team, the football players have a special place in the administrators heart since they are the only reason someone would actually come to this school. The teachers that actually cared about academics were constantly interrupted and tormented by the ape like behavior of these men. If you are actually interested in academics i would advise you to choose any other private school in the San Antonio are because this schools only focus is football.

A small, private, Catholic School that provides great academics, athletics, and above all, a family-like environment. School is very great at preparing students for college, Holy Cross follows the old and strong tradition of Norte Dame, and is fantastic when it comes to student bonding.
