SHA Louisville Class of 2008

Sacred Heart Academy is saddened by the passing of our former principal, Dr. Beverly McAuliffe.

Dr. McAuliffe served as the Principal of Sacred Heart Academy from 2001 to 2012 and was the first laywoman to hold the position. She was named an Honorary Alumna of SHA in 2012, and her daughter, Abigail Bisig Gardner, graduated from SHA in 2004. Dr. McAuliffe served as a teacher and administrator in the Archdiocese of Louisville for over 48 years in 11 Catholic schools.

Dr. McAuliffe was beloved by all: students, parents, faculty, and staff. She attended everything as principal at SHA, from the arts to athletics. Dr. McAuliffe was known for her weekly Friday talks over the intercom, reminding all Valkyries to respect themselves, their families, and their faith, and not to do anything over the weekend that would harm the mind, body, or soul.

Dr. McAuliffe is responsible for creating the motto that all Valkyries live by. She told her students that Valkyries were warriors, but that they were more than that – they were “STRONG WOMEN OF GREAT FAITH.” And from that day forward, every Valkyrie has striven to live up to those words.

Dr. McAuliffe was a dedicated leader who passionately worked to increase accessibility to the great Catholic education and values at SHA for as many eligible students as possible. A Sacred Heart Academy scholarship in her name provides tuition support to those qualifying for financial aid who exhibit the core values and mission of Sacred Heart Schools.

Dr. McAuliffe left a lasting legacy on the Ursuline Campus and will be missed by all who had the great privilege of knowing her. Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her.

Valkyries and friends of SHA, we would love for you to share your favorite stories and memories of Dr. McAuliffe in the comments below.

Sincerely sad to share another former Valkyrie from the class of 2008 has passed.

Cara Schoen, who left Sacred Heart after her junior year, passed away on June 28. Her family’s home caught on fire, and tragically, Cara lost her life. I am so sorry to share this sad news with you all.

Below I have attached the obituary for Cara, as well as a GoFundMe page that was set up to assist her family in getting back on their feet after the fire destroyed their home.

Sending prayers to Cara’s family and friends, and to Cara as well.

Once a Valkyrie, Always a Valkyrie.
