What / Who is Sacred Heart High School

Our Catholic Secondary School is located in Walkerton, Ontario, Canada. It is located in Bruce County and is a part of the Bruce-Grey Catholic District School Board. We have approximately 800 students from grades 9 - 12. There are approximately 50 teaching staff members with an additional 35 support staff at the school. Many of our students live in a rural setting and are bused to the school. We do not have a school uniform but follow a respectful dress code.

We have a very active community, as you can tell by browsing the rest of the web pages. Check out the number of teams, clubs, support programs, special events, etc. listed on this site to get a better flavour of what we do and who we are.
