Philosophy
Catholic schools should be faithful to the Mission of the Church, which is the mission of Jesus Himself: “Just as the Father has sent Me, so I send you.”
It is this sense of common purpose which inspires Sacred Heart's School Community to strive to meet the goals set by the Catholic Bishops of the United States: “To be communities of faith in which the Christian message, the experience of community, worship, and social concern are integrated in the total experience of students, their parents and members of the faculty.”
An environment conducive to learning (Grades 7th-12th) -- in both the moral and academic areas -- is a key characteristic of Sacred Heart Jr/Sr High School. Mutual faculty and student commitment contributes to this effectiveness.
Sacred Heart recognizes that parents are the primary educators of their children. Christian values must be reinforced in both the home and school; thus both parents and staff must form a strong bond. All who support the cause of Sacred Heart should continually strive to find ways to kindle within the school the flame of the love of learning and the love of God -- thereby serving faithfully both the Church and society.
Christian education is intended to make one’s faith become living, conscious, and active; through the light of example and instruction. Sacred Heart provides a complete education where Christ’s love, life and learning are central to the child’s educational experience.
