Congratulations to our Freshman and JV Volleyball Teams! Both teams took first place this past weekend at the Holy Cross Invitational!
Last Friday, September 9th, Holy Cross of San Antonio had Chief McManus come and speak to our students during the 9/11 Memorial Service. He gave his personal reflection on his journey to becoming a police officer. Parents and Alumni that are Military and First Responders were also present at the service. We want to thank all the service men and women for their service.
It takes teamwork to make the President’s Blue & Gold Gala a success and volunteers make it possible at every step.
