In 1945 the Holy Cross alma mater was introduced.
In 1954, a new building with classroom facilities, science labs, a
library, and a cafeteria was erected to meet the needs of the growing student
body. Five additional facilities were added: the Student Center in 1962, the
Brothers’ Residence in 1964, the junior Olympic swimming pool in 1965, the
middle school building which was originally built as a new boarders’ residence
in 1966, and an athletic building which housed a weight training room and video
facility in 2002
The
boarding program attracted as many as 150 students a year from across the south
as well as Central and South America. Resident students were housed in two
dormitories located in the administration building as well as two residence
halls which provided private accommodations for upperclassmen. In 1972 the
boarding school was discontinued, and the middle school opened.

The beginings
In 1849, at the invitation of the Most
Reverend Antoine Blanc, Archbishop of New Orleans, five brothers of the
Congregation of Holy Cross were sent by Father Basil Moreau to assume
responsibility for St. Mary’s Orphanage
During the early years of the foundation New
Orleans was devastated by a series of epidemics: cholera, yellow fever, and
malaria. The city suffered privation as a result of the northern blockade
during the War Between the States. There was the continuing aggravation of the
climate of which Brother Vincent said, “was unhealthy, especially for
strangers.” More than once consideration was given to withdrawing from New
Orleans
In 1859 the congregation purchased Reynes
Farm, a riverfront plantation. In 1879, as the need for an orphanage
diminished, St. Isidore’s College, a boarding and day school was opened. This
became the original site on which Holy Cross School stood and it is here that
Holy Cross’ history officially began.
