| ^Disagree about a Catholic student part as Holy Cross actively seeks students of all faiths . Their new President( African-American non priest, Brown University grad) is amazing and committed to a diverse student body. School has great tradition of academic and athletic excellence. Most kids would probably be considered outgoing and enjoy a school with strong school spirit and due to its Jesuit heritage a commitment to volunteering for community. Strengths of HC are pre-med, pre-law and business. Very strong alumni giving rate top 10 in the country. Its grads are quite prominent- Fauci, Clarence Thomas, Chris Matthews, US senators and countless CEO’s |
