Sacred Heart School

Inspired by the teachings of Jesus Chrsit, we teach our students to pray, love and serve.
We believe that the family is the primary educator and that our school is an extension of our teaching and an educational agent for our children, for ourselves, and for our entire parish community.
The goals of the educational programs are to develop students' God-given talents to their greatest potential; to encourage responsible behavior through classroom duties and group activities; to promote courtesy and respect for all persons; to promote growth in spiritual life through religious instruction, participation in Mass celebrations, and service by helping others; and to encourage Christian living through example and instruction.

I have been teaching at Sacred Heart for a long time. I love how the students, faculty, and community maintain a family-like relationship. We want everyone who comes through these doors to feel the love of Jesus and our community. I couldn't imagine teaching anywhere else that makes you feel so welcome with a sense of belonging!
