Sacred Heart School

We like to think of SHS as a "continuation of home".
A warm, caring and safe environment allows each student to flourish academically, socially and emotionally.
We see the high potential inside every student.  Our challenge is to make sure each child sees that too. We have always believed that parents are the primary educators of their children and we consider it a privilege to work alongside them in the education and formation of each and every student.
