Students, teachers and families at Holy Cross School in Soundview are celebrating Catholic Schools Week, highlighting faith-based education and school spirit.

One highlight of the week is Career Day, where parents visit classrooms to share their professions.

Michelle Powell, a parent of the school, says it’s a chance to inspire students about various careers and the importance of education.

Families praise Holy Cross, calling it a supportive, family-like environment.

But with Catholic school closures rising across the city, some worry about the future.

Parents say continued support is key to keeping the Holy Cross School thriving.

Many Catholic schools are hosting open houses this week and beyond for prospective families.
