Holy Cross Community:
The Holy Cross of San Antonio Strategic Planning Committee is proud to present the current 5-year strategic plan. The strategic plan was the culmination of a long-term process which begun in 2014. A cross-section of stakeholders in the school refined a strategy for growth in four main areas of the school: Catholic Identity and the Holy Cross Mission, Academic Excellence, Operational Vitality, and Governance and Leadership. The result was a vetted, strategic plan which will guide Holy Cross over the next 5 years.
We invite you to review the strategic plan and join us at our next Coffee with the Principal on January 14th at 7:30 a.m. if you have any questions.
