Bus Transportation

Published: Aug 27 2024 03:26 PM

Holy Cross School is pleased to offer bus service for students in grades 5-12 commuting from areas outside of New Orleans. 

*This year Holy Cross School is partnering with Cabrini High School to offer bus transportation to students in the metro area from both schools. We are anticipating a small number of Cabrini High School students that will participate in our transportation program this school year. Please note this may affect the arrival time of the afternoon routes as there will be an extra stop to pick up students from Cabrini High School.

Buses are planned to arrive at Holy Cross each morning by 7:40 a.m. When buses are late due to situation out of our control, Administration is notified providing the student with an excused tardy slip.

Buses leave campus in the afternoon 15 minutes after dismissal. Normal dismissal is at 2:45 p.m., thus buses leave at 3:00 p.m.

Holy Cross offers six bus locations. Below are the locations and approximate times:
