Holy Cross of San Antonio offers and serves students of all abilities and economic status. A Holy Cross education is concerned primarily with leading students to understand and to live Christianity. Holy Cross welcomes non-Catholics and non-Christians who wish to benefit from our mission. In the Holy Cross of San Antonio educational heritage, there is a direct connection between the qualities a person develops in school and the qualities lived long after the years in school. Holy Cross students are destined to live in the business and problems of the world. Holy Cross has a concern for realism in education; students must be prepared for the society and the world in which they are going to live and work. The Holy Cross of San Antonio graduate forever remains committed to all that is significant in every community.
