Welcome to the daily laboratory for exploration. Holy Cross High School carves time out in our daily schedule for you to become fully formed, life-long learners. What happens during the community period? It's your choice. Hone your skills in the Math Lab, play a few rounds of tennis or join our poetry sessions. You can discover new passions, practice time management and receive more face time with your teachers.

Community Period is a daily 50 minute long period where students are given the freedom to choose how they would like to spend their time. Many academic, social and service related options are available. Through Community Period, students will learn time management, organizational skills and prioritization. 

Students can choose whether they want to

  • attend a meeting for one of our clubs and student organizations

  • attend study hall, do homework

  • meet teachers for some additional extra help

Once a week, students will meet with their advisor groups to plan Community Period events for the week and to receive advice and counsel for their daily school activities.
