Our Mission

Our Holy Cross mission is the foundation from which we educate the mind and empower the heart of every Gilmour student.

• DEVELOP

  Recognizing that each of us is a work in progress, at various points along a journey that far outlives the time we spend at Gilmour

• COMPETENCE

  Building competence on a bedrock of academic rigor and the desire for excellence

• COURAGE TO ACT

  Strengthening the confidence and conviction to do what is right in the face of injustice

• CREATING

  Valuing deeds over words and allowing ourselves to evolve on the path to discovering our purpose, vision and voice

• HUMANE AND JUST SOCIETY

  Using our competence and courage not as a means to an end, but as an instrument to live the Gospel and better the world around us every day
