"Wherever you go, whatever road you may travel,
you will always find a home at the Sacred Heart."
~Life at the Sacred Heart
Legacy Families – Continuing the Sacred Heart Tradition
Families today don't necessarily stay in their hometown for generations, so the values and traditions practiced at Sacred Heart have become even more cherished. Legacy families further the rich history of the school and help strengthen the Sacred Heart community over generations.
Lucia Kubiatowski Glunz ASH'83, has numerous family members who attended Sacred Heart – including most of her husband's family. Her two children (Maggie A5, Louis H4) are also students here. With a variety of public and private school options in Chicago, Lucia states that she chose Sacred Heart for her children for the "superb education rooted in faith along with many fond memories of friends, teachers, staff and experiences that will last a lifetime – much like I had!"
Alumnus Pete Wall H'85, whose mother (Laura Dart Wall) graduated from the high school in 1964, and whose brothers also attended Hardey Prep (John H'89, James H'95), has stayed connected to Sheridan Road as both an alum and a parent of current students (Elizabeth A3, Peter H1). Pete serves on the Board of the Sheridan Road Alumni Association, is the Hardey Prep Annual Fund Representative, and has hosted Santa on Sheridan at Driehaus for the last two years.
Both Lucia and Pete recognize that while the times may change, the enduring values and traditions of Sacred Heart, coupled with an excellent education, set the school apart from other SK-8 schools. They both hope that their children will develop the long-lasting friendships and memories, much as they did, and continue the legacy of Sacred Heart.

AASH Reception
On November 1, the Associated Alumnae and Alumni of the Sacred Heart (AASH) hosted a cocktail reception at the Driehaus for all Chicago-area Sacred Heart alumnae/i. Guests from Sheridan Road, Woodlands, 91st Street (New York City), Bloomfield Hills, and San Francisco shared and compared Sacred Heart memories. The commonality and shared history of the schools around the country made for an easy social environment, and new friends emerged. To find out more about AASH, visit their website.
Mass of Remembrance

Parents of Alumni Book Reading and Discussion
On November 4, Parents of Alumni gathered at Driehaus Center to discuss the book "Undiscovered Country: A Novel Inspired by the Lives of Eleanor Roosevelt and Lorena Hickok." The author, Kelly McNees O'Connor (Willa A1), led a fascinating discussion of her research into the novel as well as additional information that was not contained in the book.
