About Holy Cross Catholic Academy

Holy Cross Catholic Academy is a co-educational middle school and high school serving the Diocese of Amarillo, Texas.  The school provides a well-rounded academic and moral education in a faith environment for students in grades six through twelve.  Our focus is preparing students for the future.

Although clearly and decidedly configured in the perspective of the Catholic faith, Holy Cross is not reserved solely to Catholics.  We are open to all who appreciate a school where Christian values are taught and lived.  We are accredited by the Texas Catholic Conference of Bishops Education Department and approved by the Texas Education Agency.  Holy Cross is directed by the Secondary School Advisory Board that is elected from the school community and administered by the Head of School.

Holy Cross does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin, or sex in the educational programs and activities that we provide.

VISION STATEMENT

Graduates will demonstrate a capacity for critical thinking with the ability to respond to the challenges of a global, technological society.  They will have developed self-confidence, resilience, an active love of learning, and with God's help and that of their parents, a desire to bring the Gospel to Jesus to others for the good of the whole person.
 

STATEMENT OF PHILOSOPHY

Holy Cross Catholic Academy is an educational ministry of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Amarillo, in partnership with parents, and is focused on continuous formation of the whole Christian person in a rich Catholic environment and encourages students to develop their own personal prayer lives.  Faculty and staff facilitate student success by embracing diversity in classrooms and providing a variety of learning experiences, so all students may achieve.  Our learner-centered curriculum maintains high academic standards and nurtures the development of life-long learners, the ability to make appropriate decisions in life situations, and future service to the Catholic church and community by participating in social service projects and reaching out to those in need.
