Our Lady of the Sacred Heart (OLSH) has prepared my Daughter for college with the various courses offered. She has been taking AP level classes, and the teachers make sure she understands the information being taught. In 2020, this was one of the few local schools that had the students in class while others were still doing online learning. They understood that students needed to be in a social environment, and not learning from a screen.

I loved it at Our Lady of the Sacred Heart. I transferred here going into my sophomore year and have loved it ever since. There is a great family aspect and the teachers are there for you whenever you need them. I also made some extremely good lifetime friends over just my 3 years at OLSH.

If your student is academically there then they will do ok at this school (even though there is a lack of AP classes). But if your child needs a little bit more extra help they have little to offer. I'd take your money elsewhere.

We came to Our Lady of the Sacred Heart from out of town and were greeted in a warm welcoming atmosphere. We immediately felt like a part of the OLSH family.Academics are college prep and there is a good selection of courses, including honors courses. College credit is available for certain courses....
