PROFILE/PHILOSOPHY
As the oldest Catholic school in San Francisco and the first co-educational high school in the city, Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory celebrates a 153-year tradition of serving young people in the heart of San Francisco. Since our founding in 1852, the Daughters of Charity and the Christian Brothers, along with a dedicated lay faculty, have been preparing young men and women for the rigors of college and for service to the Church and society. Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory welcomes students from diverse ethnic, social, and religious backgrounds into a community that integrates Catholic beliefs with a rigorous college preparatory curriculum and a balanced student activities program.
CURRICULUM
From challenging core classes to honors and Advanced Placement courses, Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory’s curriculum reflects the creativity of our faculty and the uniqueness of the SHCP experience. SHCP offers a four year De Paul Scholar Program, established for high ability students who show leadership potential and a proclivity toward service. All SHCP students pursue service learning units within the curriculum, preparing them to become service-oriented individuals with a commitment to living the Gospel. 100% of the members of the Class of 2005 continued on to colleges and universities. A complete academic catalog can be found on the school’s website: www.shcp.edu.
STUDENT ACTIVITIES
Students are encouraged to participate and find rewards in the learning that happens outside the classroom. SHCP offers a full complement of programs, including athletics, clubs and activities, chorus, instrumental music, theater, student government, and campus ministry.
This is the motto that greets all who walk through the school doors. Accurately portraying the aims and ideals of the institution, these words guide the Campus Ministry, Student Activities, and service learning programs where SHCP students learn to share their gifts and talents with the Church and the communities in which they live.
