Sacred Heart keeps some of the best and kindest people employed. The atmosphere that SHCS creates and keeps is a positive one, open-minded, and respectable one. I never attended a public school, even through high school, and to be honest, I really had no desire to. Sacred Heart gave me a great foundation for learning. Read less

If Religious education is your top priority this school's for you! The education your paying for is lacking, over priced, and don't forget all the fundraiser requirements/volunteer hours. There are some wonderful teachers who go out of their way but there are also some very lazy teachers that you get

They do require parents to help out a little and fundraising participation is required or you pay an additional fee, but it really doesn't take much to fulfill the requirements. Great place!
