ABOUT SCHOOL
Holy Cross School, Bokaro Steel City, is a Christian Minority School founded in 1974 and managed by the members of the International Christian Women Religious Congregation known as Sisters of Mercy of Holy Cross.
Fr. Theodosius Florentini OFM CAP and Mother Maria Theresa Scherer founded this congregation in Switzerland in the year 1856. The school aims at developing the students in totality, to make him/her a perfect creation of God. Top priority is given to character building on sound moral principles. A sense of responsibility and true development of mind and character should characterize boys and girls leaving the school. They should show this by being actively concerned about national development in the true spirit of freedom, equality, justice and peace. They should feel proud of the Institution and must have a distinguished character. To attain the aims and objectives, the sisters, together with the whole team of staff, work towards the following:
• To make the boys and girls spiritually strong, psychologically mature and mentally rich/healthy.
• To help them to have right values in life and cultivate in them strong principles.
• To help to bring out the innate and hidden talents in them.
