Mission Statement
The mission of Sacred Heart School is to pass the truths of the faith and knowledge of God’s world to the next generation.

Vision
The vision of Sacred Heart School is to be a cornerstone of Catholic school education, inspiring the young to be people of COMPASSION, CHARACTER, and COMPETENCE through the ministry of Jesus Christ.

Beliefs
 In partnership with the parents and the parish community, the students are taught the truths of the Catholic faith and are given the instruction necessary to live according to the spirit of these teachings.
 The truths of the Gospel and the spirit of Jesus Christ are to be shared with all in our local community.
 Each person has dignity and value in that he/she is created in the image and likeness of God.
 Each person can and must achieve his/her God-given potential—spiritually, academically, socially, emotionally, and physically.
 By God’s design, the primary educators of the children are the parents or legal guardians.
 Children learn and develop in different ways; therefore, teachers, as well as the curriculum, must challenge all students to achieve their maximum potential and become confident, self-directed, and lifelong learners.

Philosophy
Sacred Heart School endorses the call of the Catholic Bishops of the United States to express its educational ministry through the objectives of personal spirituality, social justice, and a strong academic program in accord with the Curriculum Guide for Catholic Schools in the Diocese.
1. To develop the total Christian personality by instilling in the students a respect for life and reverence for Christian living.
2. To develop within the school a strong religious education program based on Catholic Theology, Scripture, Liturgical experience, and service so that each child will grow and develop in the Christian way of life.
3. To facilitate the intellectual, social, and physical development of each child through a variety of instructional methods such as small and large group instruction, departmental classes, and other tools for basic knowledge and formation.
4. To aid students in the evaluation of their own capabilities and vocational possibilities.
