Hello & Welcome!

It’s one of scripture’s most precious moments.

On His last trip to Jerusalem, Jesus stops in a small Galilean village to teach. There, our Lord is soon surrounded by folks who bring their children to Him. To feel His touch. Jesus embraces each child; blessing them within welcoming arms and calling upon all those who’ll listen...

Let the children come to me.

For almost seventy years, our parish school has answered that call to bring children into our Lord’s presence. By infusing Gospel values into a high quality curriculum we help our students to encounter the parables, miracles, and the life of Jesus. Such encounters inspire all of us who learn, teach or belong within our ministry to become a Community of Learners & Believers.

As a community of learners, together we educate each child to BE GREAT with a pure heart, a faithful soul, a wise mind, with physical strength. As a community of believers, we grow together in our Christian faith to BE GREAT with a love for God and as good neighbors.

These are the wonders of the excellent Catholic education provided here at Sacred Heart.

We’re a wonderful place, blessed with wonderful children. And, thanks to our entire parish school community -- our ministry is strong, dynamic, and growing.

Attending a new school can be a daunting experience for both you and your family. This page brings together information that you need to have a great experience at Sacred Heart.

Parents

We believe that parents are the primary educators of their children. We support parents in this role by creating a Catholic educational environment that blends learning and believing in the context of community. Together with parents we create a safe, disciplined atmosphere of understanding and acceptance where students are encouraged to grow and are guided in all aspects of their lives.

Involvement in your child's development is essential to their success. There are many ways that parents can be involved in the Sacred Heart community of learners and believers. We encourage you to explore these avenues and become an active part of our faith community.
