LETTER FROM JEFF HENDERSON - SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
The Sacred Heart Board of Education voted at its meeting on January 18, 2012 to close Sacred Heart School at the conclusion of the 2011-2012 school year.
Providing quality Catholic Education for every young person is a responsibility that the Sacred Heart Board takes very seriously and is at the heart and soul of the decisions they must make. Each option considered in their decision-making process presented pros and cons which were weighed and considered. The final decision carried with it many emotions that are rooted in tradition and history of the parishes.
