Dear Parents,

Your desire to find the best educational environment for your child has prompted you to learn more
about Sacred Heart School. I can think of no better introduction to our community than the chance to
observe the wonderful experiences that take place each and every day at Sacred Heart School for the
staff, students, and parents. I am proud to be the principal of Sacred Heart School, which has an
excellent reputation in the Antelope Valley and beyond. I am completing my 35 th year in education and
have spent the last 16 years as the principal at Sacred Heart School. My wife and I are celebrating our
30 th wedding anniversary this year. My two sons are graduates of Sacred Heart School. After their well-
rounded excellent education they received at Sacred Heart School, they attended and graduated from
Paraclete High School. Paraclete High School did an excellent job preparing my sons to further their
education. Both of them received appointments to attend the United States Naval Academy in 2016 and
2019. My oldest son graduated from the USNA in 2020 and is now an officer serving our great country
in the Navy. My youngest son Luke will be graduating and commissioning this coming May, 2023. His
service selection has been an officer in the United States Marine Corps.

Sacred Heart School continues to grow academically as we now are a 1:1 program with iPads and tablets
throughout the school in all grade levels TK - 8. We are very excited about the new STEM and Robotics
room that has been added for all grade levels to be involved with the added Science and Engineering
programs. Our TK program has been very successful and our students transition wonderfully into
Kindergarten. Sacred Heart School has high expectations in spirituality, academics, behavior, and
extracurricular activities. Sacred Heart School provides opportunity, challenging curriculum, and
attention in a nurturing environment to all students. Our eighth-grade graduates go on to area high
schools in the Antelope Valley and are recognized as the best-prepared students entering high school.
Many of our eighth grade students place in the top 5 and 10% of the incoming high school freshman
class.

Our school’s academic teams, music programs, and sports teams are very competitive and have the
reputation of doing extremely well and bringing home championships. It is apparent to anyone who
seeks educational excellence that it is the teacher and the students' family supports that make an
extraordinary difference in a child’s life. Most of the staff has or has had their own
children/grandchildren attend Sacred Heart School. Their enthusiasm, professionalism, and pride in the
school are demonstrated each and every day. Sacred Heart School students are enthusiastic about
whatever task or project is at hand and are ever mindful of the school’s Student Learning Expectations.

The school is supported by compassionate and caring parents. Parents are required to volunteer up to
thirty hours of time to the school, and many go above and beyond the required hours. Explore our
website to see all of the many wonderful events and activities that take place at Sacred Heart School.
Our school is supported by wonderful clergy from the church, and our tuition rates are very competitive,
if not lower than the rest of the private schools in the Antelope Valley. Please come by and visit our
campus for a tour. I would love to meet you and show off our school of excellence.

God bless you always, Go Saints!

Mr. David T. Schatz

Principal
