The school belongs to the Congregation of Carmelite Religious, the Head Quarters of which is the C.C.R Generate All Saints Campus Thiruvananthapuram. Sacred Heart Convent English Medium L.P was started in 1916. The temporary shed was erected for the school building and was blessed by Bishop A.M. Benziger on the 4th June 1916. On Monday 5th June 1916, 292 pupils were admitted and being the 1st work
ing day they had a treat, after which the children dispersed. Serious work began on the next day. Mary Alberta was appointed as the first Headmistress of the school and the first child admitted was Alice Albert. Mary Augustine and Mary Alberta started Sacred Heart Primary School as aided English Medium UP School under the Madras Government and with the introduction of Kerala Education Rule in 1959 the school was raised to a middle school and was converted to Malayalam Medium U.P. School as per the policy of the Government. Sanction was accorded for the bifurcation of the L.P Section from the U.P.School during the academic year 1972-73 and the former functioned as Aided Malayalam L.P. But owing to the growing pressure from the people of the Region and the surrounding area, the Management was forced to open English Medium in the year 1983. On the basis of repeated requests of Sr. Mary Canice the Superior and Sr. Stella Maria the Principal, we were given sanction to conduct parallel classes in English Medium at the U.P level. With the final attempt, the Management with the help of P.T.A was able to secure permanent Recognition to Standard One to Four (I to IV ) and eight to Ten (VIII to X) Un – aided Recognized English medium with effect from the Academic year 2004-05 and sent up its first batch of S.S.L.C in March 2005. At this time we could complete the School building with all its amenities. The school was raised to the status of a High School in 2004, under the name Sacred Heart Convent High School. Mary Elma the provincial Superior, Sr. Mery Frances is the Corporate Manager. Jessy Joseph is Local Manger & Sr. Jancy Joseph is the Headmistress of the school. At present the school has 2 divisions in each standard.
