Purpose of Sacred Heart High School

Mission Statement

The Catholic community of Sacred Heart reinforces the role of the family, school and church as one in nurturing the spiritual, academic, social, emotional and physical development of each person in our faith community; recognizing that commitment to learning, prayer, discipleship, service, respect for self and others and responsible citizenship is intrinsic to Gospel values.

This defines the reason for our high school. In order for these words to be a living reality in the modern world, the serious, sensitive and determined contributions of parent, student and teacher are required.

The truly Christian community will grow, if all the contributors share in a respect for the sacredness, dignity and uniqueness of all God's people. This common desire and search for community makes a demand on all of us.

For the parent there is the necessity to provide guidance and a base of fundamental values. For the student there is the requirement to speak and act as a Christian on and off the campus and to treat with respect the facilities of the community. For the teacher there is the demand to formulate an academic program and to create an atmosphere which will allow for the growth of goodness, discipline and knowledge.

Through the meeting of our obligations, our co-operative effort will ensure the life of our school community and allow each of us the opportunity to grow as individuals according to the mind of Christ.
