Sacred Heart Academy

  • Sacred Heart Academy is pleased to announce that we will suspend the High School PlacementTest (HSPT) requirement for the 2020-2021 9th Grade application process. In light of the significant disruptions students are experiencing, we believe this change to our standardized testing policy will reduce stress and provide students with much greater flexibility as they navigate the high school admissions process. Our hope is to provide clarity and relief to prospective students and their families as they engage in the admissions process during these unpredictable times and help to make this one part of life a little less stressful for everyone. We encourage your daughter to apply for one of the many scholarship opportunities available to members of the Class of 2025. Please visit our website for Scholarship Application Information and deadlines.
