The school is owned and operated by the Sisters of Divine Providence and has been serving grades 7-12 since its establishment in 1953. A dress-code is strictly enforced for all students, as a true uniform has not been instated. The school provides a rigorous academic program and over 98% of its students go on to attend college. Masses are held monthly and on special occasions in either the school auditorium or in the attached chapel, and religion courses are mandated for every enrolled pupil.

An elementary school, a pre-primary (kindergarten), a summer camp, and the nuns' home are also located on the sisters' extensive campus.The school has also won a great deal of local and national recognition for its visual and performing arts, especially for a school of its size. Sacred Heart is known for its Speech and Debate team that has won numerous awards in the past decade, including a National Forensics League champion in Original Oratory. Its school paper, The Heart Beat, has also become another strong point of the school.
