We are so happy to have found Sacred Heart Cathedral School! Our daughter went to St. John Neumann from pre-K through 1st grade. We were looking for something more spiritual and for teachers that would look at the child individually not as a group. Amazing family and school community. The teachers and staff care about your child individually and every interaction is with care and compassion! It has been a great fit for us!

A very warm and nurturing family atmosphere. We love the STREAM (science, technology, religion, engineering, arts, math) curriculum. A wonderful school with great teachers and organized programs. Both of our boys enjoy the sports and music activities.

I love the school`s Virtue program, House mentoring program in Middle School, orchestra, Art/Theatre programs, thoughtful implementation of technology, interactive projects, and most importantly the Community. What a gift it has been to my boys to be a part of Sacred Heart.

I love this school. Each of my children is known and challenged here. The priests of the Cathedral are really involved in the school. God comes first and the school has great academics and great opportunities. You are missing out if your child does not attend Sacred Heart.
