School Reviews

I have been a member of Holy Cross Catholic School's team of faculty and staff for over 6 years. It has been such a wonderful experience being a part of this school's family. All the teachers are certified, TCCBED and TEA accredited and our classes are Christ-centered and community oriented. Other than the excellent quality academic programs, we have music, art, computer, PE, Spanish and spiritual classes. We also offer before and after-school childcare until 6:00 PM. With a 9-1, teacher-student ratio, the student is an individual, not just a number. The positive messages, our students receive at HCCS are so different than in public schools. There is a spiritual atmosphere here, with scriptures, uplifting notes, and posters hanging on the walls. We have prayer from start to finish in our school and no one gets in trouble for saying the name of 'Jesus' or speaking about their faith. I truly endorse Holy Cross Catholic School and hope you stop by and check us out. Our phone number is 979-245-5632. We have located at 2001 Katy Avenue, Bay City, TX 77414. God bless!
