Holy Cross High School

OVERVIEW

Paving the way

Holy Cross High School is a co-education Catholic high school located in Queens, New York. Holy Cross educates the hearts and minds of young people following the educational and spiritual vision of Blessed Father Basil Moreau, founder of the Congregation of Holy Cross. Holy Cross embraces students who reflect social and economic diversity. The school strives to instill within each student a desire to identify and fully develop God-given talents while pursuing excellence in all endeavors.

Holy Cross High School came to us as they were transitioning from an all-boys institution to a co-educational one. Their original website desperately needed modernization and needed to reflect these changes. It was in need of major UX and design upgrades. They also needed an on-top-of-it and responsive partner for this large project and ongoing partnership.

Since completing their new website project and making the switch to co-education, enrollment has increased exponentially. ONE18MEDIA has also worked with Holy Cross’s advancement office on annual giving reports and organizing and marketing a $10M capital campaign.

Following our switch to ONE18MEDIA for our Website, many Holy Cross High School constituents have volunteered positive observations regarding the improvements. For those of us at Holy Cross in need of making quick changes, the ONE18MEDIA team has been amazing. Their response is immediate.

In one case they learned of a major announcement confirmed at 9:00pm on a Wednesday by the Holy Cross board of directors. Before midnight the necessary and extensive changes to the Website were made by ONE18MEDIA!
