We asked the teachers why they teach at Holy Cross Catholic Academy. Here's what they said:

 

"You will not find a better staff or better student body than you will find at HCCA. We truly have the best school in Amarillo."

"Coming from a public school setting, the class sizes are much more manageable. The discipline problems are few and far between. I mostly like the Christian atmosphere."

"I would tell them [parents considering sending their teens to Holy Cross] that if they want their child to be a standout student and not just a number, they need to come to HCCA. THEY WILL BE PREPARED for anything when they graduate from here."
-Mr. Phares

 

"I like teaching at Holy Cross Catholic Academy. I enjoy the small classes and able to to teach one-on-one with each student."

"Parents wanting to send their kids here would enjoy . . . [the students'] opportunity to pray and serve God."
-Coach Johnson

 

"What a great ministry to be able to teach and share the faith at the same time."

[to parents] "Your children will not get 'lost in the crowd' here. The teachers here care about your child. Where else can you get a great education and worship God at the same time (out loud)?"
-Mrs. Rickwartz

 

"I teach at Holy Cross so that I can share my enthusiasm for my Catholic faith and for life sciences."

"Holy Cross is a school that is centered on Jesus Christ and His Church. It also has strong academics."
-Mr. Stocker

 

[I teach here because of] "the students -- I enjoy their enthusiasm for their faith. They are well-behaved and get along with all. This is a family."

"Being able to pray in the classroom [is what I like most about teaching at HCCA]."
-Mrs. Jupe
