École Holy Cross

Bienvenue

École Holy Cross is a single track Kindergarten to Grade 8 French Immersion School located on the East side of the city. The school attendance area is from 6th Avenue East to east the side of the city and from the river to the southern city limits. Also included are the Osborne and East Central bus areas. Currently the student population is 330 students.

As a single track and early immersion school this means that the entire population is enrolled in French with points of entry in Kindergarten and Grade 1.

École Holy Cross welcomes all Catholic families in the attendance area who wish to offer their child the gift of a second language. If you have any questions please contact the school office at (306) 953-7551.

Our Patron Saint:

Our school is named in honour of the Holy Cross.  It is in the cross that we see the central message of our faith; that out of love for us Jesus died and rose for all of us.  In life, the cross brings us great hope.

In our daily journey, we sometimes find ourselves facing difficulty.  Jesus invites us to look to the cross for help and inspiration.  The cross helps us to remember the great love that Jesus has for us and that we can turn to him in time of need.  By looking to the sacred image of the cross, we can have faith that Jesus will help us in the difficult times in life.  The cross of Christ is great a symbol of amazing hope in life.

We celebrate the feast of the Holy Cross at our opening mass, which coincides with the feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross on September 14^th.

Principal’s Message:

Bienvenue à l’École Holy Cross!

As the principal of École Holy Cross, a vibrant French Immersion Catholic school, I am blessed to lead a community where faith, language, and learning come together to form the foundation of an exceptional educational experience. Our school is a place where students are not only nurtured academically, but also spiritually, emotionally, and socially.

At École Holy Cross, we are proud to offer a rich French Immersion program that opens doors to bilingualism and global citizenship. Through high academic standards and a supportive, inclusive environment, our dedicated staff works in partnership with families to ensure every child reaches their full potential.

Rooted in Catholic values, our school fosters a deep sense of respect, compassion, and responsibility. Daily prayer, religious education, and community service are integral parts of school life, helping students grow in faith and character.

We believe that education is a shared journey. We warmly welcome parents and guardians to be active participants in their child’s learning, and we value the strong relationships that help our students flourish.

God Bless!
