Holy Cross is truly a second home to me. Out two oldest children started at Holy Cross in fifth and third grade after moving into town from Albuquerque, NM. My volunteer work on the PTO, Advisory Council, and Las Vegas Night (Celebration) deepened my connection with the school. When Sr. Helen (the principal at that time) asked me to come work as the school secretary it was without a second thought that I took the job. I have always felt very fortunate that as part of my job I get to attend Mass with this huge extended family of mine.

Holy Cross is such a fun place to work. The teachers and staff are all very friendly and caring. I am so glad that I got to be part of this school as a student and now as a staff member.

After working in the credit and banking industry for thirty-plus years, I found retirement was not what I was looking for. I came to HCCS because of the school’s need to upgrade custodial and maintenance areas and fell in love with the kids, the staff and the parents at the school.
