The Mission of Sacred Heart School, established in 1955, by the Presentation Sisters, is to pass on the beliefs and teachings of the Roman Catholic Faith, to teach students to reach out to others in a caring, Christian way, and to offer students an academic, Christ-Centered education in a disciplined environment.

Philosophy

We believe:

•   Children should be treated as unique individuals created in the image of GOD.

•   Religious development includes an understanding of the truths of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, an appreciation of the virtues and moral principles of the Christian way of life, an experience of personal and communal prayer and worship of God, a sound knowledge of the history of the Catholic Church, and a desire to promote justice and to serve one's neighbor.

•   Intellectual development is unique and must be encouraged and assisted to reach his or her full potential. The basic skills of language, math, science, and social studies are essential, but a well-rounded education includes an appreciation of the fine arts, the development of communication skills, physical education and personal health.

•   The school environment must be a community which promotes the common good. Each student must be encouraged to develop a respect for his fellow man. The formation of each student is meant to develop Christian citizens who interact well with others, who recognize and respect authority, and who are involved in improving and strengthening the wider community.

•   The goal of our program is to give each student, regardless of the student's religious, cultural or economic background, the necessary skills to become a self-motivated, life-long seeker of knowledge and a productive, well-adjusted person.
