"I love that all the staff bring a lot of positivity to the kids and guests here at school; the students are always super nice to each other."
"The Academy of the Sacred Heart is a great learning experience. It helps you become the best you can be."
"I would describe Sacred Heart as a sanctuary, a place where you can create tight bonds with the people around you. It has helped me strengthen my connection with God."
"The teachers are really nice. They know how each student learns best and show us strategies to use ... I like brainstorming writing ideas with Mrs. McCaffrey."
"ASH is a tightly-knit community where all are welcome. I really like the small class sizes because I am more confident - I get to grow more as a person and a student. "
"This school is fun-loving and also creative. Goal 4, be a friend to all, is most meaningful to me because I do not want anybody to be bullied and I want to have lots of friends."
