Holy Cross of San Antonio

What Holy Cross of San Antonio does

Holy Cross of San Antonio is a private Catholic, coeducational, college preparatory school serving grades 6 through 12 from a single campus at 426 N. San Felipe St. in San Antonio, Texas. Founded in 1957 by the Brothers of Holy Cross and operated as a nonprofit, it is positioned as San Antonio's only private Catholic coeducational college-prep middle and high school, with an enrollment footprint scaled to a 101-250 employee headcount and a stated goal of expanding capacity by 200 additional students. Its core product is the Holy Cross Academic Experience, a college-preparatory curriculum supplemented by a Dual Credit Experience, a Robotics program, and The Gauntlet academic challenge, alongside a comprehensive athletics program and College Counseling Services built on Naviance. Reported student outcomes include a 90%+ college enrollment rate for graduates.

The school runs on commodity education technology: RenWeb (FACTS) for admissions processing, parent portal, and communications; HUDL for athletics scheduling, ticket sales, and game video; Google and Facebook for SSO; PayPal for recurring scholarship donations; and YouTube for recruitment content. It does not develop proprietary software. Revenue is generated from tuition and fees (amounts not publicly disclosed), the state-administered Texas Education Freedom Account (TEFA) program beginning 2026-2027 — which provides up to $10,474 per student and up to $30,000 for students with disabilities — the 426 Scholarship Program funded by $35.50/month recurring alumni donations processed via PayPal, and a summer portfolio of athletic camps and the Summer Online Academy priced between $65 and $600 per offering. The customer base is consumer (families of prospective students in San Antonio's Westside and Southside), distribution is direct through an admissions funnel of campus tours, shadow days, and online application, and the school is governed independently by a Board of Trustees under the spiritual oversight of the Brothers of Holy Cross.
