For me, Sacred Heart School is a place of compassion. I was both nurtured and challenged, while being reminded every day of my uniqueness and of my worthiness as a child of God. I was given a groundwork to go out into the world with a background in both academics and morals. The education I learned at SHS has remained with me, especially the spelling of dessert versus desert, thanks to Mrs. Sayer’s eighth grade English class. Everyone wants two desserts, hence the two “s’s.” I remember the prayers, for those who needed them, and being taught that asking God to guide is one of the kindest things to do for those who need it most. I am blessed and I am grateful for being an alumnus of catholic education, because everyone deserves to have such a beautiful foundation.
