In 1946, a group of visionary Christians had the faith to embark on a remarkable journey. They believed that a Christian school would serve as a powerful mission of the love of Jesus Christ. Holy Cross Lutheran School opened its doors to 52 students in the fall of 1946. By 1948, enrollment had more than doubled to 112 students, and five additional classrooms plus a library were built. A gymnasium and cafeteria were added in 1965. Today, Holy Cross has an enrollment of nearly 370 students, ranging from pre-school to eighth grade.

Christianity - Quality Education

The discipleship and scholarship of the curriculum at Holy Cross go hand in hand. Not only are students exposed to love of Jesus Christ on a daily basis, they also receive one of the best elementary and middle school education's in the entire state. Holy Cross Lutheran School is fully accredited by the State of Indiana, as well as the Lutheran Association of schools. Year after year, more than 95% of Holy Cross eighth grade students pass the ISTEP test, placing them among the best in Ft. Wayne. In recent years, Holy Cross graduates have been honored as Salutatorian and Valedictorian at Concordia High School.
