STAFF

Sacred Heart School is administered by a religious sister, who belongs to the order of School Sisters of St. Francis of Christ the King.

The staff is composed of dedicated religious and lay teachers. All have degrees and hold State Teaching Certificates. Ongoing continuing education and professional development (in-services, institutes, conventions, etc.)  is a process whereby the staff continues their education to more completely meet the present day students’ needs.  The staff attempts to keep a visionary perspective. The parish priests are an integral part of the religion program at Sacred Heart School.

The staff’s loving care and concern for each student as a unique individual is evidenced in creative approaches to the daily curriculum. Learning is made relevant, challenging, and fun.

Teachers instruct in specialized areas; additional teachers, who are specialists in specific areas, enhance the curriculum; they teach music, physical education, and computer technology. Volunteer aides, primarily parents, form an auxiliary staff, providing additional support for both teachers and students in the library, the classroom, the lunchroom, etc. There are also homeroom parents for relays and other homeroom activities; there are sports program coaches as well.

FORMATION

At Sacred Heart School, the focus is not only on what the child can do, but on what the child can be. Through daily instruction, the students are guided in the understanding of their Catholic heritage, in developing a strong foundation for growth in faith and Christian Catholic values, in family life, in human sexuality, and in recognizing their full, human potential.

ALL students enrolled in Sacred Heart School are required to take part in religious formation which is considered basic to the mission and philosophy of Sacred Heart School.
