Mission Statement

Holy Cross Matriculation Higher Secondary School, a
minority school for boys, was established by the Brothers of
Holy Cross in 1963 with the sole purpose to evangelize and to
educate in true Christian faith, firm values and high ideals to the
student community, respecting their religious sentiments and
freedom of conscience. As a Catholic School, we are working not
only for the intellectual, cultural and physical development of
our children from the earliest stages but also for the formation of
character by inculcating sound moral principles, as Fr.Basil
Antony Moreau, our founder envisaged when he said: "True
education consisted in forming the hearts of the young people".
Holy Cross is part of a heritage that places equal emphasis on
educating the mind and the heart.
The school views itself as part of the mission of the local
diocesan church. It serves a diverse population desiring to build a
community implanted in the virtues of discipline, reverence,
zeal, vigilance, self -control, meekness, patience and prudence.
The school approaches its responsibilities with a worldwide
perspective instilling creative thinking in students and widening
their knowledge, vigilantly safeguarding them against the
inroads of all deviations. The school's mission includes helping
students become active and informed citizens realizing their
self-worth.
Academic excellence, moral formation and all round
development are the steel frame on which every direction of the
school moves. Holy Cross prides itself in offering the state of the
art facilities for co-curricular and extra curricular activities
paving the way for education for life and not just for the present.
Our school is a community linked service centre that caters to the
needs of the poor and the under-privileged through its Rural
Development Centre. It helps students gain knowledge on the
values of living together as brothers and sisters setting the goal
on accomplishing excellence. It is our desire to make our
students aware of their responsibilities to care for and to serve
those in need.
