Robert C Harris Elementary School

They expelled my KINDERGARTENER without explaining what they were doing.

I remember crying for a week straight because of how scared I was of letting my special needs child (Rett syndrome) go to school. And then when she got on that bus that first day I cried like a baby knowing I wasn't ready but I had to be because she was. When I say I'm so grateful for how Holland has treated my baby these past 4 years. Words cannot describe the happiness I feel knowing my baby is at the best school for her. Not only has she progressed so much but she's genuinely happier since being at Holland. Some days I even think she likes school better than home. She has such an amazing team there and especially her teacher Mrs. Taylor. If it was up to me that would be her teacher until graduation. I've gone to every field trip with rose and from what I've seen Mrs. Taylor is the type of teacher that makes you want to go to school. The way she interacts with the kids is the most beautiful thing. I swear I love that school so much and for my kids to love it even more makes my heart so happy. If you're a parent in Fort Wayne with a special needs child Holland is the absolute best school. I wouldn't want my kids anywhere else. I haven't met a teacher there yet that didn't overexceed my expectations and I have high expectations. Both my kids love this school so much. I wouldn't want them anywhere else.

I am a current student there at St Charles and I absolutely love being there! Everybody there is Christ-like and absolutely nice! The teachers are the best.

As a former student who attended Holy Cross from ages 2 to 14, I have experienced both the positive and negative aspects of this institution. However, my time at this school significantly impacted my mental health in ways that have continued into my high school years. I often felt isolated among my peers, and unfortunately, I received little support from the faculty. For students who are racial minorities, members of the LGBTQ+ community, or individuals with disabilities, I strongly caution against enrolling at Holy Cross. The environment can be detrimental to self-esteem and personal development, as students may find their identity shaped by external expectations rather than personal growth. If you choose to send your child to this school despite these concerns, please be aware of the potential impact it may have on their well-being.
