Financial aid ensures that a Sacred Heart education remains available to as many students as possible.
The Initiative is an integrated set of best practices that allows our academic program to take a bold leap.
We have met the challenge!
An anonymous donor issued a challenge, promising a 2-to-1 match of alumni, grandparent and past parents contributions up to $375,000. The $375,000 goal was met before June 30, 2017, securing an additional $750,000 contribution from the donor!

Why do you support the Masterpiece Campaign?
Liz & Matt Connelly, Parents of Academy 7th Grader
"We are proud to be a part of the Masterpiece Campaign and to have the opportunity to give back to Sacred Heart! As a family, we believe we have benefited from being a part of this community in so many ways beginning the day our oldest daughter Maggie started in kindergarten 17 years ago. We have been enriched by the values we all share through the Sacred Heart goals and criteria, we have been enriched by the wonderful friendships we developed with fellow parents throughout the years and we have been enriched by the exceptional education Sacred Heart has provided for our four children."
Maureen & Ron Sippel, Parents of Alumni
"We joined the Masterpiece Campaign because we believe so deeply in a Sacred Heart education that is accessible to everyone. Our entire family benefited from being affiliated with Sacred Heart, and we hope that many other families can have that same experience.
The Masterpiece Campaign will allow SHS to become the best elementary school in the city while also opening up opportunities for scholarships allowing more children the ability to take advantage of that education."
Lisa & Jeff Jozwiak, Parents of Hardey 5th and 7th Grader; Academy 2nd Grader
"We are supporters of this campaign because it is truly transformative for our own children and for all students and faculty at Sacred Heart. Nat's initiatives for teaching and learning innovation extend the legacy of academic excellence that the school has maintained for 140 years. Nothing could be more aligned with the vision of St. Madeline Sophie and the powerful mission of Sacred Heart Schools."
