I give to Sacred Heart, and will continue to do so, because the School is a place for women to grow to be independent, while still being cared for and nourished. Sacred Heart, to me, means a place where learning is all encompassing, and gives girls the tools to change the world.

Joyful learning is fueled by the 2021-2022 Fund for Sacred Heart
Your support for the 2021-2022 Fund for Sacred Heart ensures a dynamic, forward thinking environment in which each girl can take on challenges, grow in understanding and empathy, and use her gifts to serve others.
The Fund for Sacred Heart -- with all contributions applied to the current school year -- holistically touches each student’s experience, and enhances academic innovation plus arts and athletic programs, faculty excellence, financial aid, and community strength.
Together, we can raise $2,000,000 for the 2021-2022 Fund for Sacred Heart. Your generosity makes the difference in expanding the student experience in every way… supporting new, transformative opportunities across the school and in each division.
