The College of the Holy Cross is a private institution of higher education devoting itself exclusively to undergraduate education. Located in Worcester, Massachusetts its athletic teams are members of the Patriot League.

Holy Cross follows in the Jesuit tradition of education and was founded in 1843 as a boys school named after the Cathedral of the Holy Cross. The college held its first commencement in 1849. The school quickly began to grow, but in 1952 a fire destroyed the school. With the commitment of the school president, Father Anthony F. Ciampi and Bishop John B. Fitzpatrick, the college was rebuilt and opened for a second time in 1853. A charter was granted to the school in 1865 allowing students to receive degrees. The school is currently co-educational.Holy Cross: Holy Cross History and Traditions
