Today's Holy Cross School evolved from a school for girls established by Sisters of Charity nuns in 1862, in the former Eagle Hotel (the former juzgado). The Sisters later acquired the adjacent William Thompson residential parcel and, later still, the adjacent Temperance Hall site. The school is administered by Holy Cross parish, and its site now fronts on Emmett Street (across from Mission Plaza), School Street, and Mission Street. The separate Holy Cross High School, on High Street, is now closed.
