My four years at Mercy has changed me both spiritually and academically. Coming from a public school in fifth grade, Mercy has taught me so many new study habits to help my academic progress.

Alumna of Our Lady of Mercy Class of 2014

My sons’ academic performance has improved much since beginning Sacred Heart Catholic School (SHCS) this school year. As parents, SHCS has helped us become more involved in our children’s academics, sports and school events.

Our family has been a part of the Sacred Heart family going on 7 years. Sacred Heart provides an excellent foundation for the whole child including body, mind, and eternal soul. The administration as well as the teachers, both seasoned and new, are highly qualified and excited about education.

Mrs. Julianne Goodman, SHCS mother

All five of our children attended Sacred Heart Catholic School. Their education here has played a large part in the people they have become. One of our daughters is a teacher today because of the wonderful role models she experienced at Sacred Heart.

Sacred Heart Parishioner & Parent and Grandparent

I have been walking the halls of Sacred Heart Catholic School since I was just a little kindergartener. Nine years later, I’m still here as an 8th grader, and I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. The teachers, students, and staff make up one of the strongest families I have ever seen, and that is something I am proud to be a part of.
