About Us
Mission & Goals of Sacred Heart Education
"Our education is not meant to turn the children out small and finished, but seriously begun on a wide-basis. Therefore they must leave us with some self-knowledge, some energy, some purpose...If they leave us without these three things they drift with the stream of life.” – Janet Erskine Stuart

Where a love for learning begins
Our Primary School (kindergarten through 2nd grade) places children on the path to a life-long love of learning. Our curriculum encourages curiosity, stimulates thinking and helps to instill in each child a sense of self-confidence.

Faith & Service
"Above all, get in the habit of thinking about God." - St. Madeleine Sophie Barat
Sacred Heart is a place of welcome. The experience of First Communion engages all 2nd graders whether they are Roman Catholic and receiving the sacrament or journeying with their friends.
