Why Holy Cross High School

• English as an Additional Language: At Holy Cross, the English as an Additional Language (EAL) program is designed for students whose first language is not English. Six courses are offered where students have the opportunity to earn credits whether they are just beginning to use English or nearing fluency. The content is individualized and uses a balanced approach to developing, speaking, reading, writing, and listening skills. Non-credit tutorial classes are also offered to develop language skills while supporting students in their academic programs. 
• Extracurricular activities: Over the years, Holy Cross High School has earned city and provincial championship in badminton, basketball, choral, cross country, curling, debate, football, soccer, stage band, track and field, volleyball, wrestling, and yearbook events. The extracurricular program plays a vital role in the total school experience.  It enables students to develop their God-given talents by participating as fully as possible in the spiritual, social, and athletic life of the school.  Students should involve themselves in at least one or two activities during the course of their time at Holy Cross.
