Sacred Heart School News Sacred Heart School opened its doors to 161 students on Monday, August 10. It was a great day as we came together in peace and love to learn and grow in the light of Jesus Christ! I was so proud of our students as they entered the school in their dress uniforms looking so sharp and ready for the new year. Please, keep us all in your prayers that we can do our very best everyday to show our love for God and each other as we learn more about this wonderful world God has given us. As principal, I am grateful to the dedicated professionals who work each day with our children...they share their love and knowledge while guiding their students to be the best they can be...and also for our staff who work to make our campus a safe and welcoming place.
