Many of my Sacred Heart English teachers supported me in my publishing journey. My class had the greatest impact on my journey. They supported me endlessly and would always check in on the progress of my stories.

The Many Voices of ASH
At Sacred Heart, our students are strong and confident thinkers who lead by example and who learn to use their own minds and words. Faith. Academics. Service. Community. Growth. These 5 goals of a Sacred Education are more than a mission … they are our passion. From the faculty and staff who challenge them to the parents who inspire them and to the many alumnae who walked the halls as leaders before them, everyone has a unique story.
Here are just a few of the many voices:
