Mission Statement
Sacred Heart School shares in the mission of the Catholic Church in educating the whole child to live the Gospel values as they strive for academic success, develop God—centered relationships, and show respect for God’s creation.
Our Philosophy
Sacred Heart School believes:
That as an integral part of the ministry of Sacred Heart church, the school is dedicated to preparing children to live their faith by word and example.
That every child is made in the image of God and deserving of dignity and respect
That the parents as the primary educators of their children are called to be the spiritual leaders of their families, model Christian virtues, pass on Gospel values, and support and affirm the teaches and staff of Sacred Heart School.
That we strive to educate the whole young person: Spiritually, Academically, Physically, and Socially.
