Background
Holy Cross has been in business since 1879. Founded by the Daughters of Charity, the order of religious sisters begun by St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, Holy Cross has provided an education through the link with teachers and Catholic doctrine. Increased enrollment resulted in a move to their present building in 1960 located on Langhorne Road.
Holy Cross Regional Catholic School is a college preparatory school for students in pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade.
On March 20, 2007 the schools of the Diocese of Richmond, which includes Holy Cross Regional Catholic School, have been recognized as the first Catholic school system in the nation to receive District Accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and Schools Council on Accreditation and School Improvement (SACS/CASI).

Campaign 130
Campaign 130 was started in 2008 by a group of dedicated parents, former students and alumni, faculty, Holy Cross Advisory School Board members and others to raise funds for needed capital improvements. The group formed the Holy Cross Regional Catholic School Foundation to help facilitate the fundraising and enhancement effort.
The total goal of the Campaign is $1,000,000. The school received an initial investment contribution of $350,000.00 from Mr. Al Stroobants who further agreed to give an additional $150,000.00 when the school/foundation matches the initial donation of $350,000.00. Once achieved, the additional contributions will help initiate and maintain the Endowment Fund.
