Good Shepherd Catholic School vs. Holy Cross School

Good Shepherd Catholic School, a fully accredited elementary, junior high and pre-school, is located in the heart of Santa Cruz County.

An exceptional alternative to public education is provided for students of diverse backgrounds by highly qualified teachers. Within the context of Christian values, parents and teachers, like a family, work together towards a common goal.

By striving for excellence, Good Shepherd gives students the life-long skills of mind and heart required for self-esteem and service to others.

Good Shepherd operates under the auspices of the Catholic Diocese of Monterey.

Good Shepherd Catholic School is an inter-parish faith community that commits itself to excellence in education through the creation of a nurturing and stimulating environment that embraces and proclaims religious, academic, social, physical and aesthetic values.

Holy Cross School has educated children for 160 years. Our WASC- and WCEA-accredited program provides students from preschool through 8th grade with an engaging and challenging academic experience within a faith-based and respectful environment.

Highly qualified teachers inspire students with a love of learning through an academic program that includes math, science, language arts, social studies, P.E., Spanish, music, Life Lab, competitive sports and student leadership.

Service to others is a key part of our students' education and service-learning projects are an integral part of the program at all grade levels
