The Excelsior Graduate
A woman who is impelled by the Love of Christ to live authentically and passionately, sharing her compassion and integrity with the world, continuing to be a life-long learner, thinking critically, communicating effectively and intelligently, upholding the human dignity of each person, committing to be an active participant in her faith community, valuing “strong bonds” with her class and the wider Sacred Heart community fully embracing the gifts God has given her to strive “ever higher.”
The Apostle Tradition
Blessed Clelia's charism of love, service, and reparation is embedded in the everyday life and culture of Sacred Heart Academy, though prayer and First Friday liturgies, but also through our curriculum and community outreach.
"Mother Clelia's virtues are the foundation of the Sacred Heart Academy community, and each day students are living out the charism of Mother Clelia by sharing God's love with everyone they meet." –Mary Sarah Olson '19
