Dear Holy Cross students,

It is with great excitement that Ms. Melissa Romero joins the Holy Cross family as your Guidance Counselor this new school year! Born and raised in San Antonio, Texas, she graduated from Providence Catholic High School and continued with her studies at St. Mary’s University. While at St. Mary’s, she received a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature and Language as well as a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling and continued on with her professional career in higher education.

As she begins to prepare for your arrival to campus this August, she has kept in mind the words of Blessed Basile Moreau, “we do not want our students to be ignorant of anything they should know. To this end, we shall shrink from no sacrifice”. With that said, this summer she has put together many tools and resources to help you prepare for success in academics, college, career, and life. As your counselor, her goals are to serve and support you in the areas of academic counseling, personal counseling, college preparation, social emotional learning, and the development of interpersonal skills. In addition to supporting students, she will also serve as a resource for parents, teachers, and administrators at Holy Cross.

At the start of the school year, she will introduce students and parents to the new tools and resources available and will provide an overview of the following expectations for students: 

• Defining academic goals
• Learn effective decision making skills
• Importance of collaboration and team building
• Understanding your unique learning style
• Understanding your strengths and identify areas for improvement
• Defining your career goals
• Becoming efficient with college search tools available through Naviance
• Importance of Empathy, Self-awareness, Respect, Motivation

Prior to the first day of class, she encourages you to review the “Counselor’s Corner” section on the Holy Cross website and to contact her at melissa.romero@holycross-sa.org with any questions that you may have in the meantime. Ms. Romero is looking forward to welcoming all of the students back to school and is excited about working with everyone throughout the year! Go Knights!

Beginning October 1st, high school seniors can start to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for the 2020-2021 school year. This federal form is used by colleges to determine a student's eligibility for federal aid (grants, loans, work-study). For every year in which the student will be enrolled in college, they are strongly encouraged to submit the FAFSA and can list up to 10 schools to receive their information. 

Although the financial aid process can seem overwhelming for both students and parents, it certainly doesn't have to be! To help you get started, we have provided you with a step-by-step guide below:

Step One: Create an FSA ID. It is important that every student and parent create an FSA ID in order to complete and submit the FAFSA. This personalized ID is used to confirm your identity with the Department of Education and allows you to electronically sign the FAFSA.

Step Two: Go to www.fafsa.gov

Step Three: Click on "Start Here" to complete the 2020-2021 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)

Note: When filling out the income section in the FAFSA, students and parents who have filed their 2018 federal tax return may be given the option to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool. If given this option, it is strongly encouraged to utilize this tool in order to electronically and securely transfer your income tax information from the IRS website to your FAFSA. 

What's next?

Once you have submitted the FAFSA, the Department of Education will send you an email within 1-2 business days to confirm that it was received and will also provide you with a Student Aid Report (SAR) summarizing the information that was submitted. Within 2-3 business days, the colleges that you listed on the application will receive your FAFSA and will contact you if any further information is being requested. It is important to keep in mind that you will not be awarded financial aid until you have submitted your admission application to the college and have officially been accepted. Additionally, not every student is awarded the same financial aid award. This is because not every student and family's financial situation is the same and not every college awards financial aid the same way.

Stay tuned for details about our FAFSA Nights this year!

A Shadow Day is a chance for your son/daughter to experience a day in the life of a Holy Cross student. Your child will be paired with a shadow host who will lead them through the shadow host's class schedule, acting as their guide for the day. 

On your scheduled Shadow Day, we ask that you arrive at 7:45 a.m. to be introduced to your shadow host and be ready to be picked up at the end of the school day, 2:55pm. Your child is required to wear their school uniform on this day.

Click HERE to download the Shadow Day Permission Slip. Please send the completed form by fax at 210-433-2117 or email it directly to shannon.tijerina@holycross-sa.org. 

Thank you for choosing to shadow at Holy Cross of San Antonio! We will contact you to confirm the Shadow Day.

What is 426?

426 is literally the digits of our street address, but it is much more than that. To our students, it is a powerful reminder of some of the tenets Holy Cross Students have come to know since 1957 --  Faith, Respect, Pride, Integrity, Ambition and Wisdom. To our alumni and all those who hold Holy Cross close to their hearts, we hope it is a call to action. Understanding the realities of tuition, we are asking our alumni and benefactors to donate to this scholarship program by signing up for a recurring $35.50 donation. This will add up to $426 a year in tuition assistance to be used for the 2018-19 school year. Our goal is to subsidize tuition with alumni contributions specifically designed to make it affordable to all academically qualified students.

Why Alumni? 

Because Alumni and Alumni families know firsthand the value of a 
Holy Cross education.  

Alumni have learned how to pay it forward.

Why Now?

With your support Holy Cross stands ready to continue our mission for the next 50 years!

The greater the support the more affordable the tuition. 

The more affordable the tuition, the more opportunities available for educating an additional 200 students in grades 6 through 12.
