Julian Villarreal, Class of 2015 and Jon-Michael Maldonado, Class of 2016, are the recipients of the Burziks’ Brightest Scholarship through Hope for the Future. Provided to exemplary students attending a Catholic High School in the Archdiocese of San Antonio, the $5000 scholarship award was made possible by a generous grant from Frank and Cathy Burzik, both Catholic School alumnae, through their Burzik Foundation.

Dear Alumni & Friends,

We hope this note finds you well and in good spirits. The alumni association is coming off a successful Memorial Day Weekend Softball Tournament and is gearing up for the annual President’s Blue and Gold Gala. As you know, two years ago Holy Cross launched this important initiative to support tuition assistance.

In our fifty year history, Holy Cross has been committed to providing a quality Catholic college preparatory education. We have made our institution accessible to many students from all parts of the city and from all backgrounds. Many students would not have attended if not for the tuition assistance and a large portion of our student body rely on this program. Our mission as alumni and friends is to continue this vision of accessibility and to continue our mission to provide a quality education. Your time, talent, and contributions keep the school at the foreground of affordable education in San Antonio. So, we whole heartedly invite you to join us on Saturday, September 20th for the Third Annual President’s Blue and Gold Gala. Here are the online links in order to:

Miss Samantha Santos, Holy Cross ninth grader, received the Viola Huge Heart Foundation scholarship on May 29.

The Foundation is named after the late Viola Barrios, founder of Los Barrios Restaurant. Her three children created the foundation soon after her death in order to preserve the good memories of their beloved mother, Viola. Today, the foundation has awarded four scholarships. Miss Santos is the fourth recipient for her dedication to her studies, community service and extracurricular activities.

“At Holy Cross, we focus on building well rounded individuals,” said Ms. Elizabeth Eguía-García,  Holy Cross Vice President of Advancement & Public Relations. “Ultimately, Holy Cross is preparing them for college and the university level. Miss Santos embodies the traits that the Viola Huge Heart Foundation seeks to support. Holy Cross is proud of her.”

“We call the students who we select for this scholarship our ‘Little Violas,'” said Diana Barrios-Treviño. “They represent my mother’s heart as well as her generous and hardworking spirit.”

Miss Santos appeared on SA Living on June 19 along with Ms. Barrios-Treviño and Ms. Eguía-García. Throughout the year, Miss Santos will be participating in various events and activities promoting and supporting the Viola Huge Heart Foundation.

“Mr. Galindo, Brother Stanley and all of us at the school are deeply grateful to the Barrios Family for their generous support of Miss Santos and for their partnership with Holy Cross,” said Ms. Eguía-García.
