Continuing Our Excellence Capital Campaign.
The campaign will include new construction and major renovations to existing building to create a new Student Center on the back square of the Rosary Campus. The project will include a new 43,000 square foot, two-level complex which will house our gymnasium and other facilities to support our athletics, physical education and life-long wellness. This undertaking will also include major renovations to the former elementary school building to accommodate new space to nurture the creative arts. The entire project and campaign will ensure the continuing comprehensive learning experience for our Sacred Heart girls.

Over the last twelve years, we have witnessed the importance of a Sacred Heart education for our three daughters, as well as, ourselves. The Rosary is blessed with a family atmosphere and a rich history in the city of New Orleans, and we are grateful for the values that a Sacred Heart education imparts. Students learn the true importance of an education rooted in Christ, and are taught to be confident, poised, and giving of themselves. Our girls are instilled with a respect for rigorous academic responsibility, and are encouraged to have intellectual curiosity throughout their lives.
Sacred Heart is beginning the Continuing Our Excellence Capital Campaign which will address the needs of a new Student Center and the renovation of the former elementary school building on the back square of the Rosary Campus. The vision for this project includes the construction of a new gymnasium, arts and music wings, athletic offices, a fitness facility with locker rooms and a multi-purpose space. But this can only happen with the support of the Sacred Heart family.
We are joining with others to lead this campaign because we realize and appreciate the generosity of others before us that contributed to the success of Sacred Heart. It is that generosity which allows our daughters to enjoy the unique education they experience at the Rosary.
We are thankful for all who have supported and contributed to the Rosary through the years, and ask that you too help Sacred Heart preserve the success and remarkable tradition that the school is known for. We invite you share our enthusiasm for this new project and support the Continuing Our Excellence Capital Campaign.
In Legacy of a Century, Sally Kittredge Reeves '60 chronicles the history of the Rosary's first one hundred years. It is interesting to note that the last page does not say "The End." We like to think that this omission implies there is more work to be done. Now it is our turn to build new paths for the girls who will walk the halls of Sacred Heart in the future.
Sincerely,

Susan and Chuck Viator, General Chairs
