Amy Lawson's last day will be Friday, September 13. Amy and her family are relocating to Charlotte, NC, and we wish her well! Amy has made wonderful strides for Holy Cross, and we appreciate her initiative and insights. Please be sure to share your best wishes with her. Holy Cross Uniforms This is a friendly reminder that all students must wear proper uniform attire to school each day unless it is an authorized free dress day. The Holy Cross polo shirt must have been purchased through Flynn & O'Hara, our authorized uniform provider, or our used uniform sale. Polo shirts that don't have the appropriate Holy Cross logo (old or new) are not considered appropriate uniform pieces. If you have questions regarding our uniforms, please see the school's website or the Parent-Student Handbook, pg. 21
