We encourage athletic participation in all of our students, regardless of ability. Competing at any level, fosters the development of leadership, sportsmanship, confidence, teamwork, time management and a healthy lifestyle.
–Sue Bower, Athletics Director
Every girl can be a leader. Every leader can be a champion.
The athletic program is an integral component of the student athlete's overall experience at Academy of the Sacred Heart. We strive to give our girls a wide variety of athletic experiences to all athletes while also offering opportunities for each young woman and each team to make positive progress and reach a high level of success.
Being a Sacred Heart athlete also carries with it responsibilities to the school, to the sport, to the student body and to the student athlete.
Student athletes are given the opportunity to develop:
- self management
- leadership skills
- self esteem
- team work
- sportsmanship
- overall fitness
