Dear Friends,
It is my great joy to welcome you to Holy Cross High School.
What began as a faithful vision in the hearts of a few has now come fully to life. As we near the completion of our inaugural year, we are filled with gratitude for the many individuals who have generously shared their time, talent, and support to make this school a reality. Because of them, a classical, Catholic high school in Dover is no longer just a dream, it is a thriving community.
As we look ahead to welcoming new students in the classes of ’29, ’30, and beyond, we celebrate all that has already taken root and continue building something truly special.
As a lifelong Catholic educator, I can confidently say that Holy Cross High School is a unique place. Grounded in the classical tradition, we seek to form students who recognize and pursue truth, beauty, and goodness. We are a faith-filled community rooted in the belief that each person is created in the image and likeness of God, and we strive to cultivate lives guided by the cardinal virtues of justice, prudence, temperance, and fortitude. Our doors remain open to all who share in this vision and desire to be part of our mission.
I ask for your continued prayers for our school, our students, and all who will walk through our doors in the years to come.
Faithfully,

Mr. Thomas S. Fertal
Head of School
