EDUCATING HEARTS AND MINDS IN THE HOLY CROSS TRADITION

The Mission

We are a Catholic high school in the Holy Cross tradition. We celebrate our diversity, value each person, and welcome one another with the hospitality of Christ.

As a family of learners, anchored in gospel values, we empower each other to grow spiritually, develop intellectually and reach out in service to others.

Within an innovative and orderly learning environment we are committed to challenging each student in both heart and mind to be a compassionate individual, a lifelong learner, and a responsible steward of God’s creation.

- BLESSED BASIL MOREAU Founder of the Congregation of Holy Cross

The quality which defines the students of a Holy Cross education heritage is the training of the hearts as well as the minds.

TRUE TO YOU

Built on a promise to empower the heart and mind, Archbishop Hoban High School nurtures the smallest spark of passion into a lifetime of success.

ARCHAEOLOGY

Archaeology is a senior-level course designed to spark students’ appreciation and deepen their understanding of historical events. Students learn how to perform archaeological excavations. Last year, students performed a historical graveyard dig to verify and mark the locations of graves in conjunction with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and the Moreland Historical Society.

VISUAL AND DIGITAL ART

The new CREATE Studios houses Hoban’s 17 visual and digital art courses o ered to students of all skill levels. Year after year, students produce outstanding works of art that are recognized locally, regionally and nationally. With the addition of CREATE Studios, students receive the hands-on instruction in a state-of-the-art facility that provides the tools needed to explore the arts and personal expression as growing artists with arms-length access to industry professionals.

PRE-ENGINEERING

Pre-engineering I provides students with exposure to four primary disciplines of engineering: chemical, civil, electrical and mechanical. Pre-engineering II introduces students to the tools of engineering. Pre-engineering III is an independent study course that matches students to a sponsor company that exposes a student to a meaningful, hands-on, engineering experience.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE

The Center for Sustainability o ers an experiential learning opportunity in which students apply knowledge learned in environmental science, bioethics and public health to real-world scenarios while working and volunteering at Cuyahoga Valley National Park. The public health course investigates how societies can work to improve the health of the community as a whole by preventing disease. Bioethics investigates the increasing importance of applying an ethical framework to societies advancing in science and technology. Students enrolled in the Center for Sustainability identify the intersections between those two courses and environmental science. The Center for Sustainability is a way to provide experiential learning opportunities to learn and practice living out our calling as Catholics to take care of each other and our planet.
