a direct connection between the qualities a person develops in school and the qualities
lived long after the years in school. Holy Cross students are destined to live in the
business and problems of the world. Holy Cross has a concern for realism in education;

and work. The Holy Cross of San Antonio graduate forever remains committed to all that is
significant in every community. Holy Cross wants to continue producing alumni that will
positively impact the local community, the country, and the world. |
