Maura Friend - Scholarships and Tuition Management

Ms. Maura (Hill) Friend, Director of Tuition Management and Scholarships, is a proud Sacred Heart High School alumni who graduated in 1985.  When asked what she appreciates from her days as a student she said, "Sacred Heart instilled in me core values to always do my best in academics, be kind and considerate, and to focus on my family, faith and community. My teachers, such as Brother Tom, Kathy Mayer and Lisa Toscano are some of the role models who taught and led by example, and instilled personal development and growth within me". 



After graduating from Sacred Heart High School, Ms. Friend attended Dominican College on a Basketball Scholarship. She graduated in 1989 with a BS in Marketing and Management. Before returning to Sacred Heart High School in her Directors role, Ms. Friend was employed in managerial positions at Nynex, Page America Corporation and Metrocall, Inc.  

As an administrator and alumni, Ms. Friend is able to provide a unique perspective on today's SHHS student. "I believe the success of our students begins with integrity and character. Sacred Heart teaches with academic discipline, and encourages our students to strive to be better people. I feel SHHS provides a successful path to becoming responsible leaders within our community."  

Sacred Heart is a special place for our students to grow and learn. Ms. Friend noted, "Sacred Heart High School is a great community of family. The faculty and staff are dedicated to our students. We teach our young people the importance of giving back while academically challenging them to be better people in and outside the classroom."

When not at Sacred Heart, Ms. Friend enjoys spending time with her family and friends, going to the beach, and remains a sports fan - especially tennis. 

FUN FACT: Ms. Friend's favorite snack is Guacomole and Chips!

Thank you for all you do for our students!
