| Parents have the primary right and responsibility for the education of the children. Sacred Heart School acts in partnership with parents to provide and educational enviroment in which all students can learn. WE BELIEVE: |
| SCHOOL PHILOSOPHY |
That every child is unique and valuable because of life given by God.
That every facet of life is important to the development of the whole person.
Spiritually, physically, intellectually, socially, and emotionally.
That if we have helped a person to become more human, more hopeful,
more able to believe in the ultimate value of life, we have prepared him or
her for life.
That one of the purposes of education is to improve the quality of life for all
people everywhere.
That it is our responsibility to challenge each member of our school
community to be self-directing -- to develop his or her potential in the trust
filled atmosphere of a Faith community.
