Sacred Heart Catholic School strives to be a Christ-centered, Catholic community where students receive a Catholic education and a challenging academic curriculum.  We are currently in the process of renewing our accreditation and we are proud that we have been accredited since 1990.  The staff and various committees are in the process of writing the eight standards that are required for renewal  Our success in achieving this goal is dependent upon a great deal of support from parents.  Recently our parents were asked to complete an online survey regarding our mission statement, communication, education, discipline, etc.  Later this year, we will survey our staff and parishioners. Currently, some of the primary elements of our plan include:

.    rigorous curriculum review and updating

·    integrating technology into the curriculum

·    updating school facilities (included in parish plan)

·    promoting a safe, school environment with a focus on character development

·    furnishing a high quality Catholic educational program at an affordable tuition rate

All information gathered will be shared with our stakeholders.  From the information gathered, we will write a long range strategic plan that focuses on our curriculum to ensure student success!
