Message from the Principal

Dear Families Interested in Catholic Education,

Welcome to Sacred Heart School! Thank you for taking the time to explore our website and the exceptional programs and community that contribute to our outstanding school. Each day at Sacred Heart, we live out our core values of Faith, Service, and Academic Excellence for the benefit and success of each individual child. Our top-notch educators and dedicated staff ensure that our students develop into lifelong learners who embody our values and who become well-equipped for successful, inspiring, and meaningful lives.

I am often asked why parents should choose a Catholic education over the other options available to them. Here are a few reasons:

• Our school is mission-based and centered in the Catholic, core values reflecting our entire community.
• By being a Junior Kindergarten through 8th grade school, we can maintain a consistent, foundational educational philosophy for the first nine to ten years of a child’s educational journey.
• We offer a fluid curriculum from grade to grade and a seamless transition for each child from teacher to teacher.
• Our older children experience authentic leadership opportunities to mentor those younger
• Our youngest students are integrated in meaningful ways into the schoolwide team of student mentors.
• The formation of a strong sense of community amongst the students as well as amongst the parents is central to our school culture.
• The focus of all faculty members is the spiritual, social, emotional, and academic development of students, and not merely teaching a discipline.
• Safety and caring are uppermost in the minds of all the staff, every single day, and we emphasize high standards of behavior, inclusion, and respect.
• Catholic schools are the largest and most successful system of private schools in the country, where students consistently outperform their peers in all other private and public systems.

These traits, and the abiding commitment to our faith, are the hallmarks of the Catholic educational tradition.

At Sacred Heart, we are proud of our heritage, our welcoming spirit and the strong spiritual energy that makes us an exceptional choice for your family. I look forward to meeting with you and discussing how we can help you with your important educational decisions.

Sincerely,

Thomas Pulchny
Principal
