In order to plan for required social distancing and the health and safety of our students, faculty and staff, we ask SHHS families to please complete a two-question survey by August 7, 2020.

The Covid-19 pandemic, which has caused disruption across many aspects of our daily lives, is having an especially profound impact on young people, including those in our Catholic schools, whose education is being altered or interrupted. Congress is working on another bill to provide relief from the Covid crisis for critical parts of our economy and society, such as our schools. Catholic and other non-government schools must be included in that relief. The time to make your voices heard is now. Please contact your elected officials: Senator Chuck Schumer at (202) 224-6542 or (212) 486-4430 and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand at (202) 224-4451 or (212) 688-6262 and implore them to provide assistance to prevent our Catholic schools from closing permanently.  

Distance Learning at Sacred Heart High School will continue through the summer school session. The program offers an opportunity for students to recover credits and/or receive academic reinforcement, and is open to students from outside schools. Please email Ms. Nieves at gnieves@sacredhearths.org with any questions.

Sacred Heart High School promotes the highest academic achievement among its students and believes that an excellent Catholic Education should be affordable to any student willing to work to his or her potential. Sacred Heart provides a variety of scholarships for its students. If you would like to contribute to a specific scholarship or learn more about creating a scholarship in memory of an alumni or loved one, contact Claire Sullivan at csullivan@sacredhearths.org or Maura Friend at mfriend@sacredhearths.org.

Due to the generosity of our dedicated alumni and donors, our Giving Tuesday Campaign was a success! Your donations will enable us to help students facing financial difficulties due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. THANK YOU for your faith and support!

Unfortunately the '3rd Annual Hall of Fame and Beefsteak Dinner', previously rescheduled for June 18, 2020, must be postponed once again. A new date will be determined once we receive updated Health and Safety Guidelines from New York State.  In the meantime, please stay safe and healthy. We are Irish Strong!

It is with great pride and enthusiasm that we share our Virtual Signing Day with all members of the Sacred Heart community! A heartfelt "THANK YOU!" to Ms. Proscia, the senior class Guidance Counselor, for her hard work in putting this wonderful event together.

On Wednesday, April 22, 2020 we will have a "Dress-Down Day" in honor of Mr. Ward. Wear a bow tie, a hat, something to do with Chemistry, or simply hold up a sign saying you will miss him. All members of the Sacred Heart family are invited to participate.: alumni, students, faculty, staff, and families.

Calling all Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors! It's time to purchase your yearbook! Limited supply, order today!

Our world has changed profoundly over the past few weeks. We have all been, and will continue to be, affected by COVID-19 in one way or another. During these unusual times, Sacred Heart High School faces unique challenges and shifting priorities. Mandated social distancing has caused us to postpone several major fundraising events. With this in mind, we turn to you, our faithful, generous alumni, benefactors, and friends of Sacred Heart High School to participate in a special appeal to help us support students and families for whom this pandemic presents serious financial difficulty. This special appeal, called the SHHS Relief Fund, will be used to help families affected by the current emergency. The fund will assist eligible families to meet their tuition obligations in order that SHHS is able to meet all our financial responsibilities. If your finances permit you to contribute to the SHHS Relief Fund our students and families will be able to continue their distance learning without the additional stress of not being able to “make ends meet.” You have never let us down before! We thank you for your never-ending support!

The purpose of Distance Learning at Sacred Heart High School is to continue to provide consistent academic instruction from remote locations during a long-term school closure. This protocol will go into effect on Monday, March 23rd.

Sacred Heart High School will be closed effective Monday, March 16, 2020, through Friday, March 20, 2020, with the possibility of a lengthier closure. On Friday, March 13, 2020, students are to report to school as planned. The Spirit Day celebration will be postponed and classes will meet on a modified schedule so coursework may be explained and distributed. Dismissal on Friday, March 13th will occur as planned at 11:45 AM. Please click above for additional information.

It is with an abundance of caution and care for the Sacred Heart community  that we have made the decision to postpone the 3rd Annual Hall of Fame and Beefsteak Dinner from March 24th to Thursday, June 18, 2020. (The Golf Outing scheduled for 6/18 has been postponed. Details to follow when available.) While there are currently no cases of COVID-19 at Sacred Heart, our main commitment is to the safety of our fellowship. Just as numerous other major social events in the Yonkers area have been cancelled or postponed, we share that common interest in preventing the transmission of COVID-19 to vulnerable members of our population. Registration for the Beefsteak Dinner will remain open and we look forward to celebrating with you as we honor our inductees on June 18th!

SAVE THE DATES! The Sacred Heart Players are excited to present their Spring Musical, 'Sweet Charity', on April 3rd, April 4th, and 5th.

Congratulations to our Varsity Girls who clinched the GCHSAA Class “C” City Championship on March 5, 2020 in an exciting battle against Dominican Academy.

Kyla led the team with 34 points, followed by Gaby S. with 10, Jessie D. with 6, & Emily C. with 5. WAY TO GO LADIES!
