Educating Hearts and Minds
in the Holy Cross Tradition
“Knowledge itself does not bring about positive values, but positive values do influence knowledge and put it to good use.”
-Blessed Basil Moreau, CSC, 1856

Distinctly Hoban
1. Learning in the real World
Hoban students come from 100+ grade schools across 11 counties. Our diversity enriches the student experience. Students learn to have productive, respectful dialogue. They learn to not only accept others’ differences but to celebrate them. They are challenged to grow here, in a safe space, and are equipped to thrive anywhere.
2. Charging Forward
High school is a time to explore new interests, meet new friends and grow as a life-long learner. By the time you graduate, you will be amazed at the transformation and ready for the next challenge.
3. Anchored in tradition
Hoban’s long-standing traditions, such as Mum Day and our Holy Cross heritage, bind our community together. While we honor the legacy of the past, every student forges their path, leaving their unique mark.
4. Disciples with hope to bring
The early Brothers of Holy Cross were instructed to be disciples with hope to bring—catalysts for genuine change. Students educated in the Holy Cross tradition seek a transformative understanding of the world and their place within it, and they are fueled by a burning desire to bring hope to others.

- Academics
Hoban is excited to introduce a new academic program that will open in Fall 2025. The Holy Cross Pathways program is designed to serve students with intellectual disabilities. Through a modified curriculum, students will receive individualized academic, social and personal support to ensure their learning needs are met.
The program emphasizes our Holy Cross core value of inclusiveness and educating hearts and minds. While some of the curriculum will be delivered in a resource room setting, students will participate in theology and elective classes with peers.
Hoban is currently seeking an intervention specialist and coordinator for the Holy Cross Pathways program. Additionally, an instructional aide will be hired.

On Jan. 31, Hoban held the 2025 One Hope-One Dream Award assembly, honoring two distinguished alumni—James Finley '61 and Tona Boyd '99—who have spent their lives living the Holy Cross values of hope and integrity.
The award assembly is held annually during Catholic School's Week and kicks off Black History Month celebrations. This year’s Black History Month theme is “African Americans and Labor” and focuses on highlighting the significant contributions of Black Americans to society’s workforce. While they graduated nearly 40 years apart and have had vastly different experiences, James and Tona represent how our labor can not only fulfill our own lives but also bring goodness and hope to others.

Nominations for the award are open year-round. If you know of a Hoban graduate who should be considered, please nominate them online.
