A Day at Holy Cross School

​Holy Cross STEM School operates on a foundation of respect, rooted in the Gospel messages of Jesus Christ. We expect all members of our community to treat each other with respect and help make our school a good place to learn and grow. Students are responsible for their actions and are held accountable for the choices they make. Behaviors that are contrary to Christian/Catholic morals, which are intimidating, destructive, or aggressive are subject to consequences specified in the Discipline Policies of the school and Archdiocese of Los Angeles
