Mission

Sacred Heart School is a Catholic elementary school  serving the educational and spiritual needs of children in pre-kindergarten through grade eight in our community.
Sacred Heart School teaches Catholic doctrine and emphasizes the development of Catholic ideals. We endeavor to prepare each child to live as a true Christian witness in accordance with the basic beliefs and values that are central to Christianity.
        Our mission is to help each child actualize his/her full capabilities in an atmosphere of academic excellence and to spark and  nurture  a thirst for knowledge.   Our goal is to enable our students to become lifelong  learners capable of confronting the challenges of a rapidly changing world.   We recognize that each child is an individual endowed with unique talents and abilities. We strive to enable our students to realize their potential in all areas of development.      
        The pastor is an ex-officio chief administrator of the school. The principal is the administrative head of the school and is responsible for its effective operation as an education institution within the standards and guidelines set by the Archdiocese of New York and the New York State Board of Regents.
          The teachers are highly skilled professionals who work closely with the principal  and the pastor. Each individual teacher also follows the  standards and guidelines of the Archdiocese of New York and the New York State Board of Regents.
          At Sacred Heart School, we recognize that the parents are the primary educators of their children. Together we enter into a partnership of shared responsibility in passing on the rich heritage of faith, love of country, and educational excellence that each child deserves. Ultimately, it is our expectation that every student will become a positive contributor to society and a strong witness to the Catholic values that have been taught.
