I am excited to be working here at Holy Cross. I knew during my walk through at my interview that this was a place that I wanted to be. The staff here made me feel welcome immediately and I could tell that this community was committed to the education of young people. Being able to bring God into the class room is both an honor and a blessing.

Holy Cross is a welcoming community and a second family. It is a pleasure to teach my students about the Catholic faith and to receive the opportunity to attend weekly Mass with them. I am thankful to work in a wonderful community surrounded by a dedicated and passionate staff. The students bring me joy and a smile to my face.

I teach at Holy Cross because of the commitment shown by teachers, staff and parish community. The environment at Holy Cross supports our Catholic faith. I think a solid foundation is important for young people as they develop spiritually and academically. Holy Cross provides a solid foundation of principles based in faith and education that will sustain young people in their life journey.

I chose to come to Holy Cross because I want to pass on the great Catholic education that was taught to me as a child. I attended a Catholic school and had many wonderful teachers. I still remember all their names and faces. I was very thankful for my fourth-grade teacher; he is a big part of why I am teaching today.
