Athletic Philosophy
Sacred Heart Schools dedicates itself to educating girls and boys mentally, physically, and spiritually. The Athletic Department views the activities of the playing fields and courts as an extension of the classroom. Team sports provide a forum, within which students learn to assume roles of leadership and team play, develop sportsmanship, self-discipline, respect for others and the acceptance of success and failure.
