"Giving Joshua the opportunity to attend Holy Cross renewed my belief in HOPE: there is light in the darkness, good people do exist, hard work does pay off, and being true to yourself brings great reward. With the personal support and encouragement from the teachers and staff at Holy Cross, my son has found a home...Holy Cross has strengthened my family’s direction and core values by transforming Joshua into an amazing young man."

We know what the challenge is.
Here is the solution: The Crusader Hall of Honor Scholarship Fund.
In December 2020, we raised $25,000 to create the Crusader Hall of Honor Scholarship Fund through generous donations from past Hall of Honor honorees. This $25,000, along with a generous $25,000 match from Jeff ’87 and Kim Fryer, created the inaugural fund which is being used to award scholarships to students in need. This makes a Holy Cross High School education more affordable to new students.

“The scholarship gave me more confidence to put Grace through school since it added to our financial assistance. Since her father died in 2018, I was uncertain if Grace was going to able to graduate here because of the tuition. Because we had the scholarship, I could worry less about how to pay for school, and focus on Grace being able to go through her high school experience.”
- Sarah Persaud (mother of Grace ’22)
