Hello Alumni!
Welcome home! Thank you so much for choosing to stay connected with your Crusader roots. Holy Cross has had the privilege of educating the hearts and minds of the Greater Waterbury community for over 50 years. Our network of over 12,000 alumni has gone on to do some incredible things in this world, and you are an invaluable part of that.
So much has changed and yet so much has stayed the same since the last time you walked the halls on Oronoke Road. We invite you back to learn more about the Holy Cross of today, and join us for some of our alumni events including:
- Class Reunions
- Home Receptions/ Regional Receptions
- Alumni Happy Hours
- The Alumni Speaker Series
- Homecoming Weekend
- The Crusader Classic Golf Tournament
- The Crusader Hall of Honor
… and so many more wonderful opportunities to stay involved!
A Holy Cross education is rare, and we alumni are lucky to have been afforded the opportunity to learn so much both inside and outside of the classroom. Whether your cherished memories are from your time on the football field, the band room, as a member of Ophelia (or Helping Hands), or in class with one of your favorite teachers, YOU are part of the fabric that has shaped the legacy of what it means to be a Crusader. You are Holy Cross.
We hope to see you back on Oronoke soon!

Welcome home!
This is a space where you can obtain school news, event information and other exciting announcements from Oronoke Road.
Our community of 12,000+ alumni is doing incredible things all over the world. No matter how far you may be from Holy Cross High School, you will always be part of the Crusader family. Our Advancement team wants to provide different opportunities to connect and engage with each of you. Send class notes and photos to let us know how you are doing. Come back to our school as a guest speaker either in or out of the classroom. Attend our Crusader Hall of Honor, Crusader Classic Golf Tournament or alumni regional receptions.
More than anything, we hope that you will visit us on Oronoke Road. Veteran teachers are still here. Several school traditions still continue (e.g. Senior Lock-In, Halloween Happening, Turkey Day.....no more elevator passes though). You will be amazed at how much Holy Cross has grown and nostalgically satisfied at how much it has stayed the same.
