Parish & Foundation Support - Investing in a Christ-Centered Education 

Sacred Heart Academy is more than a school, it is a diverse parish community comprised of staff, students, families, alumni and friends with a shared commitment to Christ, community, and service. This commitment includes making the benefits of a dynamic, Christ-centered education affordable to a diverse population of students and their families – an opportunity made possible through the support of Sacred Heart Parish and the Sacred Heart Academy Foundation. The generous hearts and vision of this greater school community provides the financial, emotional and spiritual support to meet the school’s annual operating costs and graduate students with the strength of mind, body and spirit to realize their potential and fulfill God’s purpose for their lives.

Your child(ren)’s education is the best investment you will make in their well-being and potential for success. The strong tradition of faith formation, values education and academic excellence found at SHA will inspire them for life.

Annual Enrollment Fee:

$200 per student. $100 discount, if completed by April 30.

Annual Registration Fee:

$200 per student (Grades Kinder-Prep - 6); $300 per student (Grades 7-12). Registration fees are billed through FACTS on July 1.

Voluntary Tuition: 

The voluntary tuition account was established to minimize across-the-board annual tuition increases, thus keeping the education at Sacred Heart Academy affordable for all.  However, there is still a need to meet operating budget requirements. In addition to the above tuition rates, families are strongly encouraged to assist in funding the voluntary tuition account at a level that they are comfortable contributing.  Contributions made to this account are completely voluntary and are tax-deductible.  It is hoped that parents will recognize that the amount of tuition they are paying on a per-child basis is much less than the true cost of their child’s education and will make a worthwhile contribution to the voluntary tuition account.  In doing so, we are showing our commitment to the mission of Jesus Christ and being generous stewards.
