Sacred Heart Elementary School is a Catholic school serving students in TK through eighth grade. Prayer and gospel are observed each day, and the school follows a strict Diocesan academic plan that includes classes in religion, reading and literature, language arts, science, history, physical education and math. The school was established in 1934 and has seen generations of families pass through its doors — many of whom have gone on to nearby Catholic high schools. About 310 students attend Sacred Heart, with a student-teacher ratio of about 35-to-1. The school is known for its strong community and parental involvement. In addition to the regular school day, the school offers before- and after-school programs and extracurricular activities, including an art docent program, science Olympiad program and field trips. Students attend mass together and work with their teachers to prepare liturgies and readings, as well as participate in altar services. The school proudly considers itself a small, neighborhood, Catholic school. Students must apply to attend Sacred Heart. Admission is not guaranteed.
