Holy Cross Catholic Secondary School (sometimes abbreviated to HC, or HCSS) is a Catholic secondary school located in Kingston, Ontario, Canada offering education for about 1,125 students in grades 9-12.
The school was established in September 1986. It was fully public funded, along with other Catholic secondary schools who also were public funded from 1986 to 1987. The school occupied shared facilities with KCVI until September 1990 when a new $15 million campus was opened.[2]
The school's team name was changed from Crusaders to Saints in 2024.[3]
Holy Cross has a history of athletic success at the local, provincial and national levels. School alumni include NHL defenceman Jay McKee, olympic wrestler Paul Ragusa, and Canadian hockey star Jayna Hefford. In recent years, the Holy Cross Football Team has dominated the sport, winning consecutive OFSAA titles in 2018 and 2019.
The annual musical and prominent theatre-arts program are a staple of student life at HC.
