About Us

Philosophy and Mission

Philosophy

Sacred Heart School is committed to partnering with parents in the education of their most precious gifts – their children. Education of the whole child – spiritually, academically, emotionally, socially, and physically - is of primary significance to the philosophy of our school.

We are based on a Love of Children, fostered in a Christian environment.  We support the family by assisting in development of strong character in our children – focusing on the values of respect, integrity, trust, compassion, social responsibility and fairness.  We are guided by the Catholic Doctrine, yet embrace families of all denominations.  Our mission is to provide your child with the academic and moral foundation to flourish in their high school, college and adult lives. 

 At Sacred Heart School, we have one class per grade level. This provides us with a small nurturing environment where children are encouraged and cared for in a special way to reach their potential. Sacred Heart School provides a supportive and faith-filled setting for its students to grow and learn.

Mission

Our mission is to provide academic excellence, sound instruction by gifted and certified teachers, and a choice of activities which permits your children to explore their talents and interests.

Sacred Heart School provides all these….dedicated, qualified and credentialed teachers, a broad curriculum built on a foundation of basic skills, a wide selection of “extras” from the arts and athletics to technology and science with individual attention to each of our children. 

We also offer something more….

  • Academic Excellence
  • Principled Leadership and Values
  • Strong Spirit of Community

Our Goal is to instill in our students a deep love of God, country and neighbor.  To nurture their spirits as well as their minds and to create a supportive community built on love and faith.

It is the emphasis on “values” that set us apart from other schools. It is the reason that our school is the choice of parents, regardless of their religious faith.

Always remember:  “The Spirit is Within Us”


 

"Do you know why I think Sacred Heart is the best school I’ve every heard of? Well, if you don’t, I’ll tell you right now. I’ve been here since first grade and every teacher I’ve had is wonderful. I have a great principal, Sister Marie, who loves us and is kind to everyone here. We receive a very good Catholic education and go to Mass every Friday as a school community. This is why I am thankful to attend Sacred Heart School."
