Every seven years the Archdiocese requires that every Catholic School undergo a self-study.  Part of the self-study includes an improvement plan.  A visiting team comprised of principals, teachers and director is assigned by the Archdiocesan School Office.  At the conclusion of their two day visit, we were privileged to receive and review the written report with the visiting team members.  The team commended Sacred Heart School on the areas of Catholic Identity, Educational Issues, and Institutional Issues.  Commendations were limited to a unanimous consensus of the team and were significant enough that they would recommend Sacred Heart School as a leading example of ways to implement the areas of commendations to other schools, teachers and principals.

Click the school logo on the left to read the entire report by Mrs. Joan Wojciechowski, the School Principal, and the visiting team.
