SHA MISSION STATEMENT & PHILOSOPHY

This statement of the mission statement, philosophy, and student learning expectations were developed and approved by the principal, staff, pastor. We believe that these statements are consistent with the needs of our community, our school families, and the students whom we serve. These statements are reviewed annually and revised as necessary, resulting in systematic evaluation and future planning.

MISSION STATEMENT
“…the Catholic school has had a clear identity, not only as a presence of the Church in society, but also as a genuine and proper instrument of the Church. It is a place of evangelization, of authentic apostolate and of pastoral action-not through complementary or parallel or extra-curricular activity, but of its very nature: the work of educating the Christian person.” (The Religious Dimensions of Education in a Catholic School, Section 33, Vatican Congregation on Education).

PHILOSOPHY
Sacred Heart Academy educates in the message of Jesus Christ in the Catholic tradition and nurtures strong academics through the Core Knowledge Curriculum. Faculty, parents, and students create a Christian community where students worship God and learn to serve. The role of the school community is to guide academic instruction; and support, enhance and complement the parents as primary educators to be ministers of Christ's message.
