Sacred Heart Academy has been fundamental in forming me as a young adult. The Goals and Criteria, which make up who we are as a school, will continue to form me and constantly inspire me to be the change I wish to see in the world. The sisterhood and community that Sacred Heart fosters is truly unique here and I know theses are girls and teachers who I will always be able to count on.

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.

We transferred my daughter from our public middle school, which is a good school, to Sacred Heart with the hope that she would learn to love school again. The change was immediate. She loves going to school and has found a group of friends who are also serious students, but not too serious to be goofballs at times. We were hoping she would be happier; we didn't expect the instant confidence boost that this environment nurtures. Sacred Heart has been a blessing to us.

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...
