Testimonials

SHNS, without a doubt, has been a central part for my success upon graduation. The school helped me nurture my mindset as a young student. The interaction with high schools, college-related activities, and support system encouraged me to shoot for the stars. The mindset I built while at SHNS only continued to be enforced as I set foot in Bellarmine and beyond. To all parents thinking about enrolling your child at SHNS, I'd encourage you to be part of its community and see for yourself how your child can be empowered by this institution.

During my time at Sacred Heart Nativity, I'd learned many values that have instilled in me today. I'd learned the importance of respecting and genuinely believing in everyone – establishing good relationships with my teachers, classmates and parents. Every day that I'd walked in through the front door, I was greeted by teachers who truly wanted to see me succeed inside and out of the classroom. The supportive and motivating network of teachers and administration played a huge role in my promotion to Archbishop Mitty High School. For the past three years I have been a two sport athlete while balancing academics and remaining active in the Performing Arts department. Not only that, I am currently volunteering for Amigos De Las Americas, a non-profit, in which I will be spending 6 weeks in Panama working on projects revolving around public health and enviromental sustainability. I am currently a second semester junior and I plan on pursuing social work in college. Despite my busy schedule, the Graduate Support Program at Sacred Heart is very hands on and has never faltered from being a caring and helpful resource. I can truly say that my experience at Sacred Heart has shaped the kind of person I am and who I want to become in the near future.

Excellent school thanks to the performance of our children (daughters in my case) the creativity and effort of teachers and the entire staff of this school makes the middle school student thinking about college.

Arturo Triana

This community involves parents a lot, which for me is very important because I believe that the child's academic success depends not only on the student, but, parents and school as well. This is what I like [about SHNS].
