is to nurture and challenge all learners
to achieve this potential in body, heart, mind, and soul:[6]
a firm. loving faith in God and His Church.

Sacred Heart strives to meet the comprehensive goals for education
which include helping students to be purposeful thinkers,
effective communicators,

and citizens who are responsible and responsive to the needs of society.

We come together as a spiritual and an educational community;
a Christian family founded upon the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
As a community, we are committed to provide these educational experiences
in a climate of trust, respect, courtesy, and enjoyment,
enlivened by the gospel spirit of freedom, love, service and charity.
