Our Mission

Sacred Heart Academy, founded by the Apostles of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in the Roman Catholic Tradition and committed to the expression of strong Christian values and intellectual growth, provides a challenging college preparatory education for young women. The school is a community which promotes the growth of the whole person in a caring environment which encourages personal integrity, compassion, justice and a sense of responsibility to self, others and the needs of society.

True to our motto, "Excelsior," Sacred Heart Academy is committed to the pursuit of excellence in all areas of school life. Strong academic curriculum and supportive Christian community encourage growth and maturity in young women. Sacred Heart students are challenged and inspired to become informed citizens who share joy in learning and a love of truth. The School fosters values of compassion, integrity, trust, justice, responsibility, and courage. Everyone is expected to uphold high standards of behavior in an atmosphere of sensitivity and mutual respect. A Sacred Heart Academy education instills an appreciation and zeal for Christian living and a tradition of charity rooted in the Love of Christ.

The Sacred Heart Academy Shield

The Shield embodies the spirit and ideals of Sacred Heart Academy. The Sacred Heart, emblazoned with the motto Excelsior (Ever higher), contains several symbols: the lamp (spiritual light illuminating our path); the book (unending quest for knowledge); the crown (ultimate goal—sanctity); chevronels radiating from the Heart (the Glory of Christ); and laurel (victory and success "through Him, with Him, and in Him".)
