Student Life at HCA
Faith in Daily Life
At Holy Cross Academy, faith is woven into each day. Morning prayer sets a Christ-centered tone, and weekly, the school gathers for Mass. Students also have regular opportunities for Confession and Eucharistic Adoration, deepening their spiritual lives. Beyond the classroom, service projects and retreats help students live out their faith. At HCA, faith is not just learned—it is lived.
Community Engagement
At Holy Cross Academy, students fulfill a community service requirement through various acts of service, including organizing food drives, visiting nursing homes, assisting mothers and babies in need, and supporting local charities. These are just a few ways students grow in charity.
Sports
At Holy Cross Academy, our sports programs promote faith, teamwork, and discipline.
Holy Cross Academy competes in the North Country Athletic Conference (NCAC) for soccer, basketball, and softball, while our swim team participates in Section 3. Golf, along with bowling and volleyball, is offered as an intramural sport, giving students more ways to stay active and engaged.
