I transferred to Holy Cross English School in the sixth grade. Changing schools at such a later stage was a daunting experience but the warm and inviting environment here made the transition easier. I can honestly say that the teachers here made the entire learning experience fun, genuinely paying attention to the needs of each student and were thoughtful and nurturing. Everyone was super approachable, whether it was a question about the subjects we studied or about my future plans, their advice has always been insightful.  It helped me figure out my dreams and pursue them. I am truly grateful to Holy Cross English School and all the incredible teachers here for helping me develop as an all round individual! I have nothing but fond memories of this place!

I had joined the school in 8th std when I had recently shifted due to some family problems & was going through a rough patch in life, but that was for not long as the teachers helped me make new friends and encouraged me take up on activities and develop a holistic personality. Prior to that I had a very shy personality, however in this school I started taking up activities outside my comfort zone like sports, inter-school events & drawing due to the safe environment provided.

Also, participated & helped in organising annual events as the school gave the students opportunities to step up into leadership roles which definitely help in the college life & career ahead.

Later on I went ahead to get admission in HR college, the best college in the city for commerce & also cleared all my levels of CA in first attempt & currently I work at a Big4 firm, but I can definitely say that those 3 years in Holy Cross English High School played a pivotal role in my personality development and helped me reached this position in life.

I can never thank enough all the teachers who were always ready to help academically as well as lent their ears to hear our personal problems & become our friends, & also Father Brendan who was strict at times but gave us ample of opportunities to grow to be capable & confident adults who can face challenges of life fearlessly.

I have very fond memories of this school & if given a chance again, will definitely choose this school over any other CBSE or ICSE school.

I did my complete school education from HCEHS. It has a vital role in what I am today. All the support and encouragement that Fr. Brendan (our principal) and my teachers have given me back then is unforgettable. They gave me the confidence to dream big. A school is like the base of our education, which should always be strong. That’s why studying from a good school and its good teacher’s is very important and today i can proudly say that I did.

One of the best memories in my life is the school time. Every kid cries when it comes to waking up early morning and going to school. But this wasn’t the same in my case. I used to go happily to my school because it was the place where all the life lessons were taught. They prepared me for the world outside school. Not only this, but they also helped me choose my career by conducting various aptitude test and seminars on the same. My school was my guiding light in my life. Whenever I hear the name ‘Holy Cross English High School’, all the memories come rushing back bringing a smile on my face.  It was the best school I could ever ask for.

My school days were one of the best days of my life. Our prestigious School is blessed with the most amazing staff. The teachers are an abode of love; they gave us knowledge and showed us the hidden treasure. I was so inspired by the wisdom provided there that it helped me choose my career path. My curiosity was always greeted with a smile. I can trace my journey from a naive child to being confident, courteous and a responsible person.  It will be the highlight of my life that I am a Holy Cross student and I will cherish that title forever.

My experience at HCES has been nothing short of amazing. The teachers have instilled in me a love of learning that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I had the opportunity to participate in a variety of extracurricular activities, that allowed me to explore new interests and develop my skills. I also formed strong bonds with my classmates and made many close friends.

I am grateful for the education and experiences that I have gained and I will always look back on my time here with fond memories. Thank you for the opportunities and support!
