Dear Prospective Students and Families,
Welcome to Holy Cross of San Antonio, Admissions Department.
Thank you for your interest in Holy Cross. Our story revolves around our young men and women and the caring community which strives to develop and educate them in mind and heart as well as body and should through an integrated program of academic, spiritual, and extra-curricular activities.
The decision of which Catholic school to attend is one of the biggest decisions that a family will make. There are many questions about the school and its culture that should be asked. Your school selection needs to feel right. The strong formation that young men and women receive at Holy Cross of San Antonio will support and stay with them through life. Holy Cross of San Antonio is a place where students grow in their faith, find friendship, appreciate the value of academics, and have a sense of belonging.
At Holy Cross every student is special and will be provided every opportunity to develop the talents that she or he has. By allowing students to grow and excel in all aspects of school life, our community is truly innovative, vibrant and diverse.
If you are considering a Catholic school that will continue to nurture your family's faith and spirituality, provide you with a challenging college preparatory curriculum and also give you a true sense of belonging and having fun, then Holy Cross of San Antonio is the place for you.
We would love to have the opportunity to show you why so many families are choosing Holy Cross of San Antonio. Please consider coming by the school for a visit. Students may also schedule a "Shadow" experience by completing and returning the Shadow Day Permission Slip. With this experience a prospective student may shadow a current student during a regular school day and get a true experience of what a day in the life of a Holy Cross Knight is like. I look forward to meeting you soon!
Sincerely,
Aida Butler

FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Dear Holy Cross Family,
It is with honor that I welcome you to Holy Cross of San Antonio Middle and High School's website. You will find that it is interactive and user-friendly in that it provides all who visit it with easy access to the school calendar of events and activities, the ability to apply and re-enroll with our online registration form, and the capability of subscribing to our Holy Cross Blog and Knight Life. You will also find our social media networks easy to use and full of information about all the good things happening at our school -- please follow us on Facebook (@holycross.sa) and Twitter (@holycross_sa).
This year we celebrate our 60th anniversary! The school has grown dramatically over this time and has positioned itself to provide a college preparatory Catholic education for San Antonio’s youth. Our focus is to foster the vibrant community that exists while maximizing our rich academic offerings. Continuing with our STREAM program in our middle school and expanding our Dual Credit Program will provide our students with the academic opportunities necessary for selecting the university of their dreams.
At Holy Cross of San Antonio, we have a rich tradition of educating students in the tradition of the Holy Cross Congregation by never educating the mind at the expense of the heart. Our core values are rooted in the teachings of leadership, respect, strength of character, Christian family, self-mastery, cooperation, zeal, and spirit. Here, as well as in all Holy Cross schools, a student will receive solid academic and moral foundations anchored in the hope that only a deep faith can provide. Having experienced the impact that a Holy Cross Education can have on a student, I fell honored to come home and lead a team that is committed to educating both hearts and minds.
Looking towards the future, the Holy Cross faculty, staff, and administration are dedicated to keeping our rich educational tradition alive. With the confidence our parents afford our teachers, we will continue to foster positive relationships with all of our students while providing them with the tools needed to succeed at Holy Cross and beyond.
In Holy Cross,
Rene Escobedo, Ed.D. '92

2017 - 2018
Tuition for the 2017-2018 school year is $8,968 for high school and $6,669 for middle school. To simplify the tuition and fees process, Holy Cross has implemented a single tuition amount.

Although Holy Cross continues to be the most affordable catholic college preparatory high school in San Antonio the tuition charged does not fully cover the cost per student incurred by the school. The school makes up the substantial difference by annual fundraising activities among parents, alumni, alumni parents, and friends of the school.
