The Many

Voices of ASH

At Sacred Heart, our students and alumnae are strong and confident thinkers who lead by example and who learn to use their own minds and words.

Alumnae

Mikaela Campbell ’14

“Whether it was in the classroom, through sports or the unique opportunities we were offered, Sacred Heart gives you the freedom to make informed decisions as you mold your own leadership style.”

Student

Jade Neves ‘28

“Sacred Heart helps prepare me to compete as a nationally ranked golfer through having good time management and believing in my own personal growth. I've learned how to balance academics, athletics, and personal responsibilities. If I continue to work hard and believe in myself, there will be positive results in the classroom and on the golf course.”

Alumnae

Emilia Pappas Layden ’01

“Sacred Heart grounded me and also gave me the self-confidence to grow, to expand my horizons, and to succeed in my future pursuits ... A big part of my job involves cultivating relationships with a diverse set of stakeholders—students, faculty, artists, other museum professionals, donors—and Sacred Heart's emphasis on community building has certainly influenced my approach to my work.”

Student

Kate C. ‘26

“I am so grateful to my peers for allowing me to represent Mater Admirabilis for our grade. This honor allowed me to reflect on Mater’s qualities and recognize them in each one of my classmates.”

Alumnae

Ariane Callender ’08

“Sacred Heart has become a symbol of everything I love and appreciate most in life—a strong education, loving family, lifelong friends, and a vibrant city. Sacred Heart ... is more than a school. It's my foundation.”

Student

Daniella Y. ’34

As part of our third grade Women of Character program, students reflect on the lives of women who embody the Sacred Heart Goals. Daniella chose Florence Nightingale, a nurse, social reformer and statistician. “Florence Nightingale made me feel emotional because she cared so much about others and helped the sick.”

Alumnae

Mallory Savoie ’06

“Our math teacher took extra time to sit with me and tutor me on everything ... and now I work with numbers almost every day. I will always be thankful for how much my teacher cared and helped.”

Student

Jane Farnsworth ‘26

“Going on exchange allowed me to be more than just a tourist in places that I would otherwise not have been able to visit ... I'm so grateful for these exchanges and would love to encourage anyone to take advantage of this opportunity.”

Alumnae

Julie Jacob ’94

“Sacred Heart gave me a deeper faith base and prayerful attitude that has helped me during challenging times. Sacred Heart will always feel like home and holds a special place in my heart.”

Alumnae

Coco Ellis Howe ’12

“Because of the educational values instilled in me at ASH, I am able to navigate my profession confidently and hope to pave the way for other females interested in software development.”

Student

Darian J. ‘26

"I had the opportunity to tour the World War II Museum with Mrs. Clarice Lafreniere, a Rosie Riveter during World War II, whose job was to weld parts for Liberty ships. Mrs. Clarice taught me that no matter how much acknowledgement you receive for doing something good for others, you should always put forth your best effort because helping others and giving back is a unifying experience that brings you closer to your community."

Alumnae

Phoebe Kleehammer ’25

“Sacred Heart made me a more well-rounded person. I was not only taught to value academics, but I was inspired to further explore my artistic interests ... to follow that passion in higher education.”
