Major Commendations

The Self-Study process has not only revealed 91st Street’s greatest strengths and areas of opportunity in living the Goals and Criteria but also highlighted that the 91st Street community has a clear and collective understanding about its capacity and unique value in all community members’ lives and as a Sacred Heart school. This clarity of purpose has allowed the school to move nimbly during challenging times, respond effectively in the face of obstacles, and call upon every constituent group to serve in solution-building. The following three commendations indicate a healthy and strong foundation upon which the school can continue to learn and grow as an educational community.

Joy & Hope

At the core, joy and hope at 91st Street permeate our relationships and practices and serve as a beacon for our learning, work, and service. The school embodies the mission of the Sacred Heart and creates an atmosphere of joy, gratitude, and compassion in programs and spaces, felt and valued by a relational community.

Dignity & Justice

At 91st Street, our commitment to respecting the dignity of each individual is sincere, intentional, and action-oriented. The school centers equity and a sense of belonging through decision-making, maintaining safety, and integrating all members into this Sacred Heart family. Because we have a firm understanding that justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion are rooted in our Catholic, Sacred Heart, and spiritual identity, we feel called to nurture a loving community each day.

Dedicated Staff & Faculty

Ninety-first Street’s hallmark is our dedicated staff and faculty who understand their primary purpose is to love and keep safe all our children of the Sacred Heart. From building operations to school policies, from student support to teaching and learning, the intentional and responsive work is devoted to respecting the human dignity of the whole child.
