A FEW SPECIAL REMINDERS FROM STUDENT COUNCIL REGARDING SPIRIT WEEK
SPIRIT WEEK starts on Monday, October 20th and ends at Homecoming next Saturday, 10/25.
Each day of the week students may dress in a different theme. The themes are as follows:
MONDAY: MYTHOLOGICAL MONDAY/MYTH MONDAY
Students may dress as any mythological (or non-real) character. Students may not wear cut and/or revealing clothing. If shorts are part of the costumes, students may wear leggings as well.
TUESDAY: THROWBACK TUESDAY
Wear clothes that are from any past era (roaring 20’s, hippie 60’s, etc.) as long as they are not from the 2000’s! (If a student attends school wearing regular clothes that are from the current fashion trends, they will not be in spirit dress and therefore will be asked to change into their uniform.
WEDNESDAY: WACKY WEDNESDAY
Wear clothes backwards, inside out, upside down, or right-side wrong! Crazy socks, mismatched colors, and a funky hat. All of these are permissible. Shorts that are knee-length are allowed as long as they are not basketball or athletic shorts.
THURSDAY: HOMEROOM WARS
Each homeroom is in charge of their theme for the day and must dress accordingly. The homerooms will be judged by the administration on creativity and participation. The winner of the competition will be rewarded with a free spirit dress day. (Since each class will come in something different, please be sure to get with your homeroom teacher to discuss the details)
FRIDAY: BLUE AND GOLD SPIRIT DRESS
This is a regular spirit dress day and the spirit dress guidelines must be followed. Students may wear any Holy Cross t-shirt and jeans. No open toed shoes or torn jeans will be allowed.
* All costumes and outfits must abide by the Holy Cross dress code and meet the exact criteria of the themed day. If you have a question about your outfit, please see an administrator prior to wearing it. Students who are not in compliance of the dress code will be asked to change or sent home.
HOMECOMING PEP RALLY
Our Homecoming pep rally will be held on Friday, 10/24 at 2:15 PM in the Holy Cross Convocation Center.
All are welcome!
LOCKER BOARD DECORATIONS
* As a reminder, the PTC will be selling locker boards on Sunday, 10/19 from 2-4 PM. The school will be open at that time for students and parents to come in and display the locker boards before we begin our spirit week!
HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS: HOMECOMING DANCE
Tickets to the Homecoming Dance are available for purchase in the business office. Tickets are $15 a person and are only available pre-sale, not at the door.
DRESS CODE GUIDELINES FOR THE HOMECOMING DANCE
Taken directly from page 18 of the Student Handbook, please follow the guidelines listed below:
Boys
Boys are to wear tuxedos, suit or sport coat, but at a minimum, they are expected to wear semi-formal wear, such as slacks, nice shoes, and a nice shirt and tie. Torn clothing is not permitted. All students must be clean shaven.
Girls
Girls will wear semi-formal attire or formal gowns or pantsuits. Strapless dresses/tops and Spaghetti straps are not permitted.
The following will not be permitted:
If the attire is questionable, students are encouraged to show their evening wear to Ms. Calderon beforehand to determine if it is Catholic school appropriate. The determination of the appropriateness of student dress and grooming shall rest with the principal and administration.
Students and their dates who are non-compliant with the dress code will not be admitted to the event. No refunds will be given for dress code infractions in which result in students being asked to leave.

Holy Cross Community:
Below are a few reminders regarding the car line and parking at Holy Cross.
In order to help with the flow of traffic and to allow as many people in the front drop-off area by N San Felipe as possible, we would greatly appreciate it if you would pull forward as close to the exit as possible when stopping. By doing so, you will allow more cars to enter into the drop-off area and we will avoid traffic lines for entry into the drop-off zone. You will see our sign which reads, “STUDENT DROP-OFF HERE”. Please be sure to drop off and pick up your children as close to that area as possible.
If you’re picking up your child and they are not waiting in the line, please park or exit and come back around.
When parking on the street, please be sure not to block the driveway of any of the houses in the neighborhood.
When parking, please be sure not to park in a handicapped space unless you have the appropriate placard and/or license plate to do so.
Thank you for your cooperation and support.
Please feel free to contact the school if you have any questions.
Have a blessed week!
-Holy Cross Administration
Holy Cross Community:
Mr. Andy Flores, Holy Cross teacher, travels to Dallas with his wife every weekend to help take care of his grandson, baby Drew, who is only a few months old and has been diagnosed with a rare heart failure disease called left ventricle non-compaction.
The bus fare alone averages $480 a month and they still need to purchase food and other items.
To help offset this cost Mr. Flores has special wristbands which read, “GET WELL BABY DREW.” If you would like to support Mr. Flores and his family, we encourage you to please make a donation of at least $5 and receive a wristband to wear proudly around campus.
In difficult times such as this, our Holy Cross family support makes a great difference.
Thank you in advance for your consideration of this request!
