The Holy Cross Academy School Advisory Council (SAC) is an advisory group made up primarily of parents of school age children that offers advice and expertise to the principal on school matters. The council strives to be a vehicle through which students, parents/guardians, faculty, staff and parishioners can share ideas, express opinions and be informed and involved in Catholic education issues.
Just as St. Anne and her husband St. Joachim presented Our Blessed Mother, Mary' at the Temple, as parents who have enrolled our children in a Catholic school, we should strive to become involved in our children's education and help our children emulate Mary, We encourage all parents to become involved in their children's Catholic education by attending SAC meetings. All meetings are posted on the calendar distributed in the monthly Family Envelope.
If you have an idea or concern that you would like the council to consider, please submit it in writing to SAC@holycrossacademy.net or drop it off at Office One for consideration.
We invite and encourage all parents to join us and participate in ourmonthly SAC meetings. All meetings start at 6:30 p.m. and are held in the school library.
