A Family Guide to Our Sacred Heart Community

Thank you for giving your children the gift of a Sacred Heart education. As students, the experience they will have on this campus will be transformative and enduring, growing both heart and mind.

This also applies to the family experience. For here in this special community, you will find abundant opportunity to make lifelong friends and treasured memories, to share your gifts and talents, to take part in our traditions and teach us about yours - and so much more. We hope that you, like your students, will take full advantage of all that Sacred Heart has to offer!

We are thrilled to have you join our Gator family and become part of this cherished and historic school. Welcome home to Sacred Heart.
