This past weekend our Holy Cross Cheerleaders competed in Dallas at the National Cheerleader Association Competition. They have worked hard all year resulting in second place and receiving the Best Use of Stunts Award! We are proud of their hard work inside the classroom and on the mat!
Junior, Chris Silva ’18, was recently admitted into the National Society of High School Scholars (NSHSS). NSHSS recognizes academic excellence by connecting high-achieving students with opportunities to develop personal strengths and the necessary tools to pursue their passions. Chris is involved in the National Honor Society (NHS), the Student Knight Ambassadors, Basketball, Football, and Track and Field.
Congratulations, Chris! Keep up the great work!
Earlier this semester, Joel Gracia ’17 was one of seventy four students recognized at the Valero Alamo Bowl Scholarship Awards Luncheon this past December 14th at Sunset Station.
The scholarship was awarded on the basis of academic achievement, teacher recommendations, financial need, involvement in extracurricular activities and honors as well as a personal narrative. A strong preference was also given to students excelling in varsity sports.
This past summer Joel organized/raised a Stations of the Cross located in front of Holy Cross. He is also heavily involved in the arts, painting, and music. He has performed at the Holy Cross Blue and Gold Gala, Violas Ventanas, Fralo’s and Alamo Beer Co. Joel has been accepted to the University of Portland, Pacific Lutheran University, Concordia University, and St. Mary’s University.
Congratulations, Joel!
Last week, Miss Tiffany Lopez, Class of 2019 was recognized as an Ancira All Star Youth Sports and Outdoor Honoree!
