History of Sacred Heart School
On January 29, 1937, title was taken on the site that would become Sacred Heart School and on December 23, 1938, the plans
and specifications for the new school were approved.
On the feast of the Sacred Heart, May 31, 1940, ground was broken for Sacred Heart School. With the laying of the cornerstone

on April 23, 1941, the hopes and dreams of the parishioners of this community were finally becoming a reality.
The first students entered the classrooms of Sacred Heart School in the fall of 1941. At this time Sacred Heart was a Grade 1 - 5 school.
In the fifties the teaching sisters of Sacred Heart School, who were members of the Dominican Order of Amityville, moved into
a newly constructed convent.
Since the opening of Sacred Heart School thousands of students have been educated in a warm and caring environment.
Many dedicated lay teachers, sisters and priests have given generous service in developing the faith of our students.
Much educational and spiritual growth has taken place in this God-centered faith community.
Many changes have taken place in the school since the school's founding. Class size is much smaller in order to provide more
personal attention for the children. We are now an Early Childhood through 8th Grade school. Physical Education, Computer
Education, a Resource Room, a Science Lab, Library, Spanish and an Art Program have been added.
Curriculum and instructional materials have been changed and modernized in keeping with our changing world.
Beginning with the 2016/17 academic year, Sacred Heart School became Sacred Heart Catholic Academy of Glendale,
which is a 501c3 educational corporation.
As a result, the Academy is now managed by a lay Board of Directors who are unpaid volunteers who are qualified professionals
in disciplines that include law, entrepreneurship, business management, law enforcement and University-level teaching.
The Board has overall responsibility for the management and operation of the Academy and works with the Principal on key
issues like strategic planning, financial planning/budgeting, human resource management, marketing and facilities management.
The Academy’s Board is supervised by the Diocese of Brooklyn.
We are proud of the accomplishments of our students. They have excelled in all academic areas and have contributed much
service in our community. They go on to the high schools of their choice and we rejoice in their continued accomplishments
through high school and college.
Catholic values in a safe, positive environment
