The school is the only Roman Catholic high school in Burlington County. Holy Cross has been accredited by the AdvancED Commission on Secondary Schools since 2013. The school is run under the supervision of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Trenton.
Occupying a 78-acre (0.32 km2) campus, it has a variety of co-curricular activities, including about 40 sports teams in 23 athletic programs and 50 clubs, for students to participate in. Tuition for the 2014-15 school year is $11,140.

The student population is from a range of socioeconomic backgrounds. 99% of the school's graduates go onto two and four-year colleges and universities.
The school underwent a $3.5 million renovation in 2005. A renovated Gerald Finsen Media Center was built during the 2005-06 school year.
About 96% of the student body is involved in some type of extracurricular activity.
In 2006, Holy Cross created a new, redesigned Dance Team program with a custom dance studio that was completed that summer. Holy Cross features three annual drama events: a fall play, a Christmas production, and a spring musical. The 2008-09 lineup included Noises Off in October 2008, A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols, in December 2008 and a spring musical that runs in April.
An entire week of games and activities lead up to the big game and the homecoming dance. "Spirit Week" draws alumni, friends, family, and the curious in general.
