Welcome to Sacred Heart Catholic School

Karen Bursey, Principal

Welcome to our parish school located in downtown Robbinsdale. I thank you for taking the time to learn more about our school through our website.   My hope is that you will schedule a tour with us to learn first-hand about our wonderful school.

Our vision

Sacred Heart Catholic School students will be inspired to be thriving 21st century citizens empowered by the Holy Spirit by:

  • Igniting minds through inquiry based instruction.
  • Tapping into students natural curiosities.
  • Exploring ideas through hands-on learning.
  • Integrated studies and technology to create producers of information.
  • Integrated prayer, virtues, and service into daily learning.
  • Empowered to be critical thinkers and collaborative problem solvers.

We also offer:

Sacred Heart blends academic and spiritual growth in both curricular and extra curricular activities. As a result students receive a well-rounded education. Our teachers differentiate curriculum focusing on individual learning needs of each child. Whether in the computer lab, Spanish classes, phy-ed or art classes, teachers have high expectations for every student. In middle school, students have a strong mathematics and language arts program. The close relationship with our parish provides opportunities for student-led liturgies along with their daily religion classes.

At Sacred Heart everyone belongs. We are comfortable with each other in our faith and work hard to build community. Children learn to watch out for each other. School-sponsored events make it possible to do things together as a family. As a result, the sense of community continues after students leave.

Our school draws families from seven cities, many of them alumni who have moved elsewhere. They come to Sacred Heart because they appreciate the quality of our academic program-but they also want the structure that a Catholic education brings to the life-long spirituality of our students.
