Recent Graduates Speak from The Heart

CORNELL UNIVERSITY

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. I gained a family and a sisterhood that has made a huge impression on the person that I have become.”

“Upon my acceptance to Sacred Heart, I could have never foreseen the life-altering journey it had in store for me. Sacred Heart welcomed me into its heartwarming community with open arms and I immediately found myself at home. My experience here has enabled me to gain a better perspective on life, be a leader, and challenge myself. Sacred Heart has shaped the person I am today and I am confident it will continue to guide me as I encounter the challenges life brings.”

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.”

“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.”

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.”

UNIVERSITY OF  NOTRE DAME

“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.”

“Making the decision to join the Sacred Heart community has benefitted me not only intellectually but in every facet 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.”
