What Holy Cross Catholic School does

Holy Cross Catholic School is a private, parish-affiliated Catholic school located at 8101 West 95th Street in Overland Park, Kansas, serving approximately 200 children from preschool through eighth grade. Founded in September 1986 as an outreach of the Church of the Holy Cross parish (which began worshipping in the community in 1967), the school delivers a unified K-8 academic program split into Elementary (K-3), Intermediate (4-6), and Junior High (7-8), supplemented by an integrated Early Education Center, faith formation, a STREAM-integrated curriculum, CYO athletics, community-service requirements, after-school care, and summer programs. In 2023 the school received the Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann CEF School of Excellence award from the Catholic Education Foundation, recognizing its academic achievement, faith formation, and operational efficiency.

The school's operating technology consists entirely of third-party, off-the-shelf platforms rather than proprietary infrastructure: FACTS (a Nelnet product) for tuition management and financial-aid administration, EduConnect by EduK12 for the parent/student portal covering grades, lunch menus, and after-school care information, Google Workspace for staff and family webmail, and SignUpGenius for volunteer and event coordination. There is no custom-built software, no AI or machine-learning components, and no disclosed API or mobile application.

Commercially, the school operates a subscription-style tuition model billed annually, transitioning to a single tuition rate for all K-8 families beginning the 2026-2027 school year, with tuition assistance administered through the Catholic Education Foundation (CEF). Distribution is direct-to-consumer: prospective families schedule campus tours and submit request-for-information forms through the website, with no reseller, agency, or district-level channel. The school is governed and sustained by the parish community, supplemented by an active PTO, Father's Club, Mom's Club, and CYO athletic programming, and has historically funded capital improvements (1999 renovation, 2010 windows and HVAC) through family donations rather than outside capital.
