Tartan Challenge 2026

Empower Our Girls to be the Leaders of Tomorrow by Giving Today!

The Academy of the Holy Cross has been dedicated to instilling in young women the belief that their aspirations know no bounds. As a private, Catholic institution, our community's support is instrumental in ensuring that every girl receives the education she deserves and the opportunities to become remarkable leaders of the future.

Thanks to your incredible generosity, we are able to offer a dynamic learning experience that goes far beyond the classroom. The Tartan Challenge is our unique way of rallying support from our Holy Cross community to close out the school year by giving to the Holy Cross Fund.

Your gift makes possible signature programs that define a Holy Cross education, including Project Lead the Way, a nationally recognized STEM program; Dual-Credit courses with Marymount University; robust athletics and performing and visual arts programs; and Senior Internship opportunities.

At the same time, the Holy Cross Fund sustains cherished traditions while expanding new initiatives such as Speech and Debate, where Holy Cross just received the distinction of gaining charter status in its first year. We are the 13th institution in the region to gain such status and it is extraordinary to do so in our first year.

During Tartan Challenge, we invite you to be part of the story in which Tartans exemplify the values of courage, compassion, scholarship, and leadership everyday.

Your contributions during this challenge are vital! With your gift to The Holy Cross Fund, we can reach our $70,000 goal by May 31st at 11:59 p.m.—ensuring our students continue to thrive now and in the future.

Let’s finish the year strong! Thank you for believing in our mission and in the remarkable young women we are proud to send into the world.
