Holy Cross Junior High School Mission Statement
Holy Cross Junior High School provides a Catholic education that meets the unique developmental needs of all Junior High students. We endeavor to create a Christ-centered, supportive, and academically rigorous environment that instructs and raises each student to be faith-filled Catholics, who serve their community and have the foundations for a life-long curiosity for and pursuit of knowledge and understanding.
Holy Cross Junior High School Philosophy of Education
The "Junior High" is a ministry of the Diocese of Fresno that acts as the stepping stone between the elementary and high schools of the Fresno Catholic School System. In partnership with parents, we proclaim the Good News of Jesus and provide a safe and welcoming community that supports the unique social and emotional needs of junior high school students. With faith formation at our core, our school integrates Catholic morals, values and doctrine into all academic and extracurricular activities. A holistic approach that is project based and roosted in critical thinking drives instruction and instills a love of learning. We believe in helping students become self-aware of their time, talent, and treasures, and recognize their responsibility to use these gifts to serve the poor and marginalized in our society.
