[edit] History of Holy Cross
Holy Cross High School was founded in 1984. Preceded by the all-female, Angela Merici High School, and the all-male Bishop David High School, Holy Cross joins the best of both of these traditions in Catholic coeducation, the only one of its kind in Jefferson County overseen by the Archdiocese of Louisville. The Archdiocese oversees another coeducational high school in Bardstown, Bethlehem High School,[1][2] and another coeducational Catholic school in Louisville with a high school component, Holy Angels Academy, is not run by the Archdiocese.[3] This alternative for Catholic family education is an Archdiocesan high school accredited by the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
[edit] The Campus Today
Located on 23 acres (93,000 m2) of land at 5144 Dixie Highway in Southwest Jefferson County, the campus consists of a building containing classrooms, administrative offices, art and graphic design studios, three science labs, a media center which includes a library, two computer labs, and a word processing lab. The building also houses locker rooms and specialized faculty and guidance/counseling areas. Three tennis courts, a fieldhouse equipped with weight training facilities and locker space, a softball/baseball complex, football stadium, and a paved track complete the present facilities.
