CORBETT & KATHERINE HULETT
SACRED HEART CATHOLIC SCHOOL IS A WONDERFUL SCHOOL BECAUSE STUDENTS LEARN ABOUT GOD AND ALSO BECOME ACADEMICALLY PREPARED FOR HIGH SCHOOL.
All four of my own children attended Sacred Heart and were well-prepared for higher grades. All four of my children still currently have friends from Sacred Heart. Also, I’m glad I teach at a Catholic school because I feel like I can truly be myself, and express my love and zeal for God openly.
MRS. MAYBERRY - 2ND GRADE
WHAT I LOVE ABOUT OUR SCHOOL IS THAT IT IS A BEAUTIFUL BLEND OF CULTURE AND FAITH.
Each room is filled with students that come from different backgrounds but come together as one within our faith. We instil in our students a deep appreciation for themselves, their peers, and in Our Lord Jesus Christ.
MRS. THIEMAN - KINDERGARTEN
THE THING I LOVE ABOUT SACRED HEART IS HOW CHRIST-CENTERED WE ARE.
We are always looking toward Christ to guide us in both our teaching and our interaction with students, parents, and peers.
MRS. HUSSEY - 5TH GRADE
MY FAVORITE THINGS ABOUT SACRED HEART ARE THE TRADITIONS.
We honor our military throughout the school year and I love it because I get to hear their stories, every Christmas each class gets to decorate a Christmas tree, and every Thanksgiving we invite parents to a feast, and much much more. These moments are great because it's an amazing bonding time between families and our school family.
