Information for Graduating Class of 2010

To mark the beginning of their final days as Holy Cross students the HC Class of 2010 assembled in the cafeteria in late March for the HC Class of 2010 Assembly. This marks the beginning of the final days as a Holy Cross student before they become a Holy Cross graduate. As the saying goes, a student for a short time but an alumnus for a life time - Once A Crusader, Always a Crusader.
