Our community began worshiping together as The Church of the Holy Cross in 1967. As the parish and greater community grew, the need for a parish school was felt.

In August 1986, Holy Cross Catholic School opened its doors to 128 students from kindergarten to sixth grade in a school building that was purchased from the Shawnee Mission School District. We soon outgrew our original building and in the summer of 1999, construction began to renovate the building, convert the old gymnasium into a multipurpose room with a new kitchen, and build a new gymnasium and three classrooms. We also made the entire building handicapped-accessible, and renovated the building to the east of the main school which now houses our Early Education Center. Now, our parish community is working on a new capital campaign. Plans include upgrading the windows and air conditioning units at the school.

We currently have two classes of each grade (kindergarten through eighth grades) with an enrollment of 356.

In addition, we offer preschool for 2½- through 5-year-olds in our Early Eduction Center, with an enrollment of just over 75 children.
