Holy Cross College Celebrates 40 Years
In 1966 a group of Holy Cross Brothers began Holy Cross Junior College. The College has since grown to a four-year institution offering baccalaureate degrees, on-campus housing and an athletics program. This success will be commemorated September 19, 2006.
September 19 is a special day in Holy Cross College history. It is the date in 1966 when classes met for the first time. It will be the day in 2006 when that beginning is celebrated with a day of festivities.
