For the third year in a row, Holy Cross School has been voted the Best Private School in the South Bend Tribune Official Community Choice Awards. This is a great honor for our school, a wonderful recognition of the role that our school is now playing not only on the Westside but within the entire City of South Bend. Contributing to our city-wide reputation is the good academic reputation of the school, with our school maintaining its solid B grade from the state and its On My Way Pre-K level 3 rating, as well as our innovative immersion program that is now in its fifth year, reaching from Pre-K to 3 rd grade. This year’s weekly elective courses and school assemblies, enhanced faculty development programs, and other innovations demonstrate Annie Borjas’ determination to continue to develop the many strengths of our school.
In addition, the outstanding faculty, administration and support staff ensure that our students receive a quality education that focuses on the heart as well as the mind, which aims to form good, moral Christians as well as intelligent students. Holy Cross is blessed with students who genuinely care about and respect one another, and whose behavior is typically quite commendable (and who are challenged by faculty and staff when they do not exhibit Christian virtues in their behavior and relationships with one another).
A sincere thanks to all of you parishioners and parents who voted for Holy Cross School. Apparently many others in the South Bend community also voted for our school because of its reputation. With the support of our parish and school community, Holy Cross will continue to develop into the outstanding school it is meant to be.
