Holderness School - Chapel of the Holy Cross

Share a story

Holderness School was founded in 1879 as an Episcopal school, and it remains deeply connected to those roots. At the same time, we seek to be an inclusive school that supports, encourages, and nurtures a variety of religious beliefs and levels of commitment.

Volunteer opportunities

One time opportunities
Ongoing commitment opportunities

Pro Deo et Genere Humano - “For God and Humankind” - is our school motto, and our commitment to serving others is strong. Forty hours of community service are required for graduation, but students regularly go far beyond that. Throughout their four years at Holderness, students give back through their work on Project Outreach, Vestry, Relay for Life, and many other initiatives.
