“Since 5th grade at Sacred Heart, I’ve learned a lot about myself and have been given a sense of stability with the family feeling here. Sacred Heart has given me a tremendous boost of confidence. I have met different people and learned that everyone has a story. I am truly ready to go out into the real world and give it all I got!”

“The most important thing I learned at Sacred Heart is confidence. I was able to grow into myself as I got older in an environment where I was supported and acknowledged. At Sacred Heart I formed a unique identity, one that I will carry with me when I enter into the world at large. I think my education here allowed me to become more in life, to pursue whatever I want to pursue.”

Sacred Heart offers the best environment for learning. We are encouraged by our teachers and classmates to participate in class and do our very best. The teachers truly want us to excel both in the classroom and out in the world, which increases my desire to learn.Sacred Heart gave me more than just an education.

BOSTON COLLEGE

With an education from Sacred Heart, I am confident in my abilities to excel at college and in the career of my choosing. I have learned not only how to work hard and develop strong study skills, but also how to become a leader both inside and outside of the classroom. For the past six years at Sacred Heart, I have been surrounded by students who have become my sisters and faculty members who were there every day to help me in my academic pursuits. I attribute my academic success and spiritual growth to the values instilled in me by Sacred Heart.”

CORNELL UNIVERSITY

“After eight years at Sacred Heart, I am certain I have the academic skills to be well prepared for college. However, the most important lessons I  have learned at Sacred Heart go far beyond what you can read in any textbook. Sacred Heart has taught me true values for life. I have gained  a confidence in myself and an appreciation for others that I would not have been able to attain anywhere else.”

GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY
Sacred Heart is without a doubt more than a school. It is a  place where a strong education meets a true family of girls, parents, and teachers. I can whole-heartedly say through my experiences over the past four years, Sacred Heart creates an environment where you  walk down the hall and get “hellos” from ten different teachers and students, where people go out of their way to show support,  and most importantly, where students look forward to coming to school each day.”

“A Sacred Heart education has not only given me a strong academic background but has instilled in me a sense of curiosity for knowledge and responsibility for my community that I will always carry with me.Sacred Heart is more than an academic institution and is instead more like a home that provides a spiritual and value-oriented family.”

UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH HONORS COLLEGE/DOCTORAL PROGRAM

"Making the decision to join the Sacred Heart Community has benefited me not only intellectually, but in every fact of my life. Sacred Heart has instilled in me a spiritual, academic and social awareness, which I am confident will continue to fulfill me, both in the classroom and beyond. During my four years at Sacred Heart, I was fortunate to be able to develop personal relationships with my teachers and classmates due to the small class sizes, and this has made a significantly positive difference in my education, as well as the formation of my character."

“Waking up at 6:30 every morning is a pain, but knowing that I’m going right back home is a dream come true. Many people cannot comprehend why Sacred Heart is so different from all the other schools, so that is why we show them that we are a family. At Sacred Heart we are never alone. We guide each other through the good and bad. Being able to have two homes, two families and two places where you can be yourself is one of the greatest gifts a person can have. Walking through the school doors every morning and seeing the people who create such a joyous life is both an honor and a privilege. Here at Sacred Heart, we have one main goal that we hold in our hearts: to live a life of unconditional love.”
A.C. 11th Grade  
 
"I value so many things about my Sacred Heart education - the academics, the teachers who stayed extra time to help me with physics and chemistry, Mrs. Schuster, who was always willing to listen and has so much passion for literature, Kairos, Conge, Mater's Feast Day, the lifelong friends I made, First Friday Mass where at the Sign of Peace everyone gets up and hugs each other and it takes 15 minutes. I think what I value and hold the closest to my heart is that Sacred Heart taught me that 'to love another person is to see the face of God' and to love myself because we have so much to offer this world: 'to whom much is given, much is expected.'
