About Us
Welcome to Holy Cross Catholic Secondary School
At Holy Cross Catholic Secondary School (Kingston), we are committed to providing quality Catholic Education which serves the academic, social, physical, and spiritual development of all our students. As a Catholic community the ideals of Jesus are both taught and witnessed, community members are respectful and appreciative of each other's gifts and challenged to live the Christian ideal. We are a proud member of the Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board, located in Eastern Ontario. As a community we will embody "faith in action"; uphold the value of family; stress the integration of the spiritual, intellectual and moral development of the total person, and; emphasize Gospel values. In short, we will provide you with the opportunity to meet the Catholic Graduate Expectations.
