From the Principal’s Desk:

Nurturing Excellence Since 1963

​

Dear Parents, Students, and Well-Wishers,

Welcome to Holy Cross Matriculation Higher Secondary School. For over six decades, our institution has stood as a beacon of holistic education, dedicated to nurturing true faith, firm values, and high ideals while deeply respecting the diverse religious sentiments and freedom of conscience of every student.

A Historic Milestone: Embracing Co-Education

Founded by the Brothers of Holy Cross in 1963 with just five boys, our school has proudly served generations of young men. However, true to the Holy Cross belief in continuous growth and inclusiveness, we are thrilled to announce a historic transition. Responding to the long-standing wishes of our parents and community, Holy Cross is opening its gates to girls starting from the academic year 2026-27. We look forward to welcoming young women into our family to experience and cherish an education that truly transforms lives.

Educating Hearts and Minds

As a premier Catholic institution, we are guided by the timeless vision of our founder, Blessed Fr. Basil Anthony Moreau, who beautifully stated:

"True education consists in forming the hearts of the young people."

Beyond academic rigor, cultural enrichment, and physical development, our core mission is character formation. We blend modern pedagogy with traditional values, instilling the essential virtues of discipline, reverence, zeal, vigilance, self-control, meekness, patience, and prudence.

A Global Perspective for Future Leaders

In an interconnected world, Holy Cross approaches education with a global lens. We foster creative thinking, broaden intellectual horizons, and actively guide our students away from negative influences. Our comprehensive vision and mission ensure that every student graduates as a responsible, empathetic, and forward-thinking citizen.

Our Foundation: Academic & All-Round Excellence

Academic distinction, character development, and holistic growth form the steel frame of our institution. Backed by state-of-the-art infrastructure for co-curricular and extra-curricular activities, we do not just prepare students for exams—we prepare them for life.

Together, let us continue to build a vibrant, inclusive community of learners.

Warm regards,

​Bro. Mundru Balaswamy, C.S.C.
