Who Thrives at Lake View ?

A student who thrives at Holy Cross Lake View is the one who has courage. The courage to engage in their academics, in student clubs, and on athletic teams. The courage to face what they don't know, unafraid to make mistakes, and learn something new. They believe they can leave Lake View with a better knowledge of who they are and how to live authentically, so they ask questions about purpose, service, and a life well lived. Then they have the confidence to go into the world and change it. Because courage can’t wait… It’s needed now.

The Holy Cross Difference.

Beyond academic excellence, Lake View’s foundation in the Holy Cross tradition is the most distinctive and transformative part of the student experience. Rooted in faith, values, and service, a Holy Cross education inspires students of all backgrounds to grow intellectually, morally, and spiritually.

It goes beyond degrees and careers, instilling a foundational belief in yourself and your impact on the world.
