The best part of my Sacred Heart experience was meeting lifelong friends who I treasure. My academic experience has also been something I deeply appreciate.

It's hard to describe what an incredibly special place Sacred Heart is until you experience it. It's a place that accepts you completely for who you are. Life long friendships are formed. Faith is celebrated. And education is constantly evolving. You will feel home anytime you step back on campus. SHA will be woven into the fabric of who you are, so will be with you anytime you leave. While the school accepts you for you I can honestly say I am who I am because of Sacred Heart.

SHA has been an unbelievable blessing for our family. My current 10th grader started in 5th grade, while my current 7th grader started in 4th. Both are thriving in ways I don't think would likely, or maybe even possible, at other schools. The all-girls environment frees them to focus on their academics and character development, while the size opens up opportunities that might not be available at larger schools. From an academic standpoint, I am extremely confident that my girls are well-positioned for acceptance to excellent institutions and will be well-prepared to succeed wherever they land. This year's seniors are heading to an impressive group of colleges. Most important, though, is the culture of kindness and sisterhood that SHA seems to have figured out. No community is perfect, but SHA seems remarkable in the way the girls treat each other with love and respect. In my view, that flows from SHA's grounding in its Catholic faith and the five goals of the Sacred Heart schools.

My daughter is a senior at Sacred Heart and has been a student there since first grade. Initially, my spouse and I made the decision for her to go there. In middle school, she confirmed that and opted not to look at other schools because SHA was her home. She is getting a fantastic education.. More...
