Your Gift. Your Legacy.

Thank you for believing in SHA and for being a part of the Excelsior journey with us. With your support we continue to live our motto ‘ever higher’ and look to the future and our next 75 years with much hope and optimism. 


We are grateful to our community - alumnae, parents, grandparents, faculty and staff and friends – as you partner with us every year through your philanthropy and support. Your gifts directed to our Annual Fund and our Financial Assistance Program as well as our Endowment, our campaigns and special events ensure that we can continue to thrive and advance our mission to educate girls in the Catholic tradition.

Your gift sustains us and builds the future of the Academy. Your gift directly funds a SHA girl, helping her become an Excelsior woman. 

“Sacred Heart Academy continues to be a place where God’s love is shared, spoken of and lived each and every day. Thank you for all that you do to sustain our efforts. We are grateful beyond words!”
Sr. Sheila O’Neill, ASCJ, Ph.D., ’71
“It is a wonderful feeling to know that my gift will make a difference in the life of a future student.”
