College
Holy Cross School has a counselor dedicated solely to helping students navigate the college selection and application process. Our comprehensive college counseling program begins in the student’s junior year. Students have the opportunity to work with the college counselor one-on-one to discuss the importance of curriculum choice, test preparation, college fit, resume and essay review, and opportunities for scholarships and financial aid. In addition, parents and students have the opportunity to attend information sessions in the junior and senior year focused on understanding the college admissions and financial aid process.
