WELCOME BACK!
In the spirit of Goal IV, the building of community, the first few weeks of the new school year provide a wealth of opportunities for students and families to reestablish connections with old friends and make new ones! While this is by no means a complete list of everything happening on campus this fall, we hope you will make note of these upcoming events.
Be sure to visit the 2025-2026 Sacred Heart Calendar for a complete list of events happening throughout the school year.
