Holy Cross High School is a Catholic college preparatory school in Flushing, that educates the hearts and minds of young people following the educational and spiritual vision of Blessed Father Basil Moreau, founder of the Congregation of Holy Cross.

This fall, young women entering freshman year in September 2018 can apply to join Holy Cross.
