Extra Curricular Activities
Band
Sacred Heart Catholic School's band program involves students from the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grades playing woodwind, brass, and percussion instruments. The band is separated into two groups (beginning and continuing) and both groups meet twice a week as early bird classes (7:15 AM). Continuing students sometimes assist in teaching the beginning students. Cecilia Borges has been working with the saxophone players. We continue to expand the available instruments for students to play. Any band instruments you may want to donate to our school, please call the school office at 772-4105. Thank you. The band program is under the direction of Don Meeker.
