We shall always place education side by side with instruction; the mind will not be cultivated at the expense of the heart. While we prepare useful citizens for society, we shall likewise do our utmost to prepare citizens for heaven.
- Blessed Basil Moreau, C.S.C., Founder of the Congregation of Holy Cross
St. Edward High School is sponsored by the Brothers of Holy Cross. Between 1949 and 2022, 191 Holy Cross brothers and four Holy Cross priests educated the hearts and minds of thousands of young men in Lakewood, Ohio. The brothers and priests consecrated their lives to Christ through the vows of poverty, celibacy, and obedience, while promoting values of humility; hospitality; zeal; trust in divine providence; and bringing daily hope in the cross of Christ.
Today's faculty and staff are deeply grateful for the foundation established by the Brothers of Holy Cross. Their mission and legacy continue to inspire teachers, students, alumni, and parents to bring hope to the world. To carry on their work, the brothers have endowed the position of vice president of faith, mission, and culture—a role dedicated to ensuring that Holy Cross values continue to shape Edsmen for generations to come.
