A Message from Our Principal

Welcome to Sacred Heart School- Established in 1900! 

 

Sacred Heart School has much to celebrate, and we’re excited for the upcoming school year

 

Each year, we embrace a school-wide theme that helps shape our faith and community life. In the past, themes like “Take on the Heart of Jesus” inspired community service, kindness initiatives, and prayerful reflection. With “God is Love,” we focused on creating a welcoming environment, praying together, celebrating the good, and teaching love in action. 

 

This year, we continue building on these foundations with our 2025–2026 theme: “Trust in the Lord.” We look forward to living this out together in all we do. 

 

At Sacred Heart School, our mission is rooted in living our Catholic faith, pursuing academic excellence, and fostering meaningful communication. This year, we remain committed to these core values, ensuring they guide every part of school life. 

 

Each day, we are deeply grateful for the trust parents place in us by sharing their most precious gift—their children. At Sacred Heart School, we will welcome them with love, teach and guide them, and nurture the whole child with faith at the center. Rooted in a strong tradition of academic excellence, we remain committed to helping every student grow and thrive. “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:13) 

 

Together, we will foster a vibrant community rooted in faith and learning. I’m truly honored to serve at a school with such rich history and a devoted, supportive staff. It’s going to be a wonderful year. 

 

We continue to welcome you to the best Catholic school in Del Rio!!

 

Here to Serve You,
