Sacred Heart School for the Arts

This past weekend, we presented Annie Jr. to some packed audiences!

The show is part of The Penguin Project, a national program that gives students with Down Syndrome and other disabilities the opportunity to participate in theatrical productions. The actors (ages 14-25 with Down Syndrome) and the mentors (volunteers 14-25) partnered together to create a wonderful show!

Here are some photos from this amazing performance.

Today is the Memorial of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, which reminds us of the bond between God and humanity through the great purity and love of the Blessed Mother.

From Taylor Swift Dance Camp at Sacred Heart School for the Arts to Camp Out with a Good Book at Sacred Heart Model School, campers across the Ursuline Campus unleashed their creativity this week through dance, music, arts, crafts, and more!

Sacred Heart of Jesus, we place our trust in you! Today we celebrate the liturgical feast of the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, which reminds us of God's unconditional love for each of us.

"Throughout the month of May, we celebrated the many gifts of our students and the ways they are answering God’s call. In classrooms, on stages, on athletic fields, and during graduation ceremonies, we recognized students who are growing into leaders ready to build community wherever they go. Congratulations to all of our students on a successful 2025–2026 school year!" ---Dr. Karen McNay
