a lifetime of service and leadership PAMELA JUAN HAYES’ LEGACY IN THE SACRED HEART NET WORK Last year when Head of School Pamela Juan Hayes ’64 announced her upcoming retirement at the end of the 2019–2020 school year, then Board Chair Chris Ryan and current Board Chair Kathleen O’Connor spoke for the whole Sacred Heart community when they thanked Pam for her ten years of service as Head at Greenwich and more than 50 years of service to the Network of Sacred Heart Schools. Under her leadership, Sacred Heart has experienced substantial improvements to its curriculum and facilities. Mrs. Hayes led the creation of a one-of-a-kind online learning environment in SophieConnect and facilitated the purchase of the School’s land from the Society of the Sacred Heart, which allowed for significant facility upgrades from world-class athletic fields to a new dining room, from library and classroom enhancements to observatory updates. Longtime school archivist Vicky Allen chronicles here the impact Sacred Heart has had on Mrs. Hayes and the truly transformational impact Mrs. Hayes has had on King Street and Network-wide.
