"Wherever you go, whatever road you may travel, Meet Catherine Drake, Mother of Alumni Since her youngest child of three graduated (A'01, H'04, A'07) from Sacred Heart Schools, Catherine Drake continues to call Sacred Heart one of her passions. Catherine values Catholic education and feels that Sacred Heart's Goals and Criteria mirror what she most appreciates about Catholicism. Working full-time while raising her three children in the city, she was profoundly grateful that the Academy and Hardey Prep reinforced at school the values she was trying to teach at home. And, as a single mother, she also believes the Sheridan Road community helped her children feel they were known and cared for.
