SHS Ambassadors

Janet Erskine Stuart, RSCJ

“The way to do much in a short time is to love much. People will do great things if they are stirred with enthusiasm and love.”

Connect with the SHS Community

Once a student becomes a part of the Sacred Heart community, so does the family! We consider SHS parents & guardians our most important partners on this journey of academic growth and personal development. Their love and care is evident, both in the young people with whom they entrust us and their personal impact on the culture of the school, itself. Alongside our students, our SHS parents are vibrant ambassadors of our community. Browse the profiles by grade level below to learn more about just a few of them!
