From the King Street Chronicle: Humans of Sacred Heart - Mia Ritossa ’26

"Humans of Sacred Heart" - Mia Ritossa ’26

by Gianna Rodrigues ‘27, News Editor

What inspired this year's theme of "Lead with Heart, Act with Purpose"?

"This year's theme was inspired by the idea that leadership isn't just about holding a title, it's about how we show up for each other every day.  Leading with heart means approaching everyone with empathy and compassion, making sure people feel seen.  Acting with purpose is about being intentional, whether in the classroom, on the stage, or on the field.  We wanted a theme that reminds the student body that our impact is the greatest when we put purpose in our actions."

What have you enjoyed most about your new role in the Upper School?

"I've really enjoyed connecting with my fellow student council members.  We all have a common goal: to make this school year the best it can be, and it is so much fun to be a part of facilitating that.  We have already put in a lot of work, and I'm so excited to see it in action throughout the year."

What are you looking forward to the most this year as Student Body President?

"This year, I am looking forward to being a leader in the Upper School.  I cannot wait to learn from my peers and continue to grow as not just the president, but as a student, teammate, and friend.  Also, since freshman year, I've dreamed of being in front every morning, helping to start everyone's day off with a smile, and I'm so excited to play some new games."
