“I really like how all the teachers are calm and they know how to help me.  The classes are really fun, especially Art and P.E.  I really like Science and also like the playground.  Sacred Heart is different from other schools because I get special attention and have gotten a lot better at Math compared to when I was at a public school.  It’s also very different because there is no bullying.  All the kids are really nice because the kids believe in Jesus.  They love Christ and pray, and it makes them happier and calmer.  I also like being in person for learning.  It’s really nice and you feel comforted.”

About Principal Letter

Welcome and thank you for your interest in Sacred Heart Catholic School (SHCS).

We have a long history of serving families of the Rogue Valley and are excited about the possibility of providing for the educational needs of your family.

Sacred Heart Catholic School offers students/families an educational environment that is relationship oriented. We have small class sizes that allow teachers to really get to know their students and provide them with individualized support. We have faith families that bring students from all grades (K-8th) together to attend weekly Mass. Being together for Mass and other activities in our faith families, develops connections and cross-grade level relationships that strengthen the overall sense of community/family on our campus. This connectivity extends to parents/families and is the reason why “A Sense of Community” is one of our most referred attributes.

One of the most cherished attributes that I appreciated as a former parent was the focus that the school had on all students being strong Christian role models. This attribute continues to be strong at SHCS. Christ directs us to love one another and live a virtuous life. In all we do, this is our guiding principle. We strive to have students leave our school at 8th grade fully prepared academically and spiritually for their future educational and life endeavors.

As you consider your options for your family, please know that all of us here at Sacred Heart Catholic School feel incredibly blessed to serve the families of this community. Our goal will always be to serve those who join our community. We would be honored to be partners with you in the education of your children.

In Christ,
