SHPS Receives Highest Rating of Accreditation!

Sacred Heart Parish School provides our families with high quality K-8 education infused with Gospel values. Solid evidence of this is that over the summer, 2003, we were awarded the highest rating of accreditation by both the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and the
