ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE
Countless reasons. One SHCP.
“I have made so many great friends here.”
“The school spirit is great, and there is so much support from classmates and teachers.”
“The liturgies involve so many students, from readers to singers and dancers.”
DEVELOPING TOMORROW’S LEADERS
“I know I will be prepared for whatever college I choose to attend.”
SHCP is your portal to a world of possibilities. “My coach pushes me to be a great student and a great athlete.”
“There are so many different clubs, and you can even create something new.”
“My teachers always make time for me and really get to know me.”
From challenging core classes to Honors and Advanced Placement courses, SHCP’s curriculum reflects the creativity of our faculty and our commitment to academic excellence. Innovative programs such as Academic Explorations and Fitness for Life broaden the scope of learning for everyone. The curriculum is enhanced with inter-disciplinary, project-based assignments that allow students to collaborate with peers and experience a dynamic approach to learning. One-hunderd percent of the Class of 2010 are attending colleges and universities, including Cornell, Stanford, Johns Hopkins, NYU, UCLA, and Cal. Students who meet the criteria may apply to the De Paul Scholar Program, which features curriculum enhancements such as seminar-style classes and leadership workshops.

THE VALUE OF AN SHCP EDUCATION As the oldest Catholic school in San Francisco and the first co-educational high school in the City, Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory offers the finest college preparatory education within an inclusive, Catholic community of faith. SHCP teachers get to know students as individuals and welcome their families as partners in education. Since our founding in 1852, the Daughters of Charity and the De La Salle Christian Brothers, along with a dedicated lay faculty, have been preparing young men and women to be intelligent, caring young leaders with the confidence to succeed in college and in life. Our inclusive community taps into the powerful Daughters of Charity and Lasallian Network—one that spans continents, cultures, and centuries. SHCP seeks highly motivated young men and women eager to be part of a rich tradition of academic excellence.
