Sacred Heart Academy was established in 1889. It was run at the time by a small group of Dominican Sisters.
Sacred Heart Academy, a Catholic School founded in 1889, is committed to the mission of Jesus Christ. With our families and faith community, we provide a balanced curriculum, to strengthen mind, body and spirit, so our students can reach their full potential.
The entire school is under the direction of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Saginaw. Sacred Heart Academy occupies two buildings. The main building is the high school. Its neighbor is the elementary school. The high school instructs students in grades 7-12, while the elementary school teaches students in grades DK-6. The current principal is Denny Starnes. Sacred Heart Academy (SHA) expanded its elementary school in the summer of 2008 by building on top of the previously one-story cafeteria to accommodate two new classrooms. In 2010, the school achieved two major victories: Their Science Olympiad team received first place in the state for an anatomy event, and their football team won the Division 8 MHSAA championship. Sacred Heart Academy operates as a day school and has no boarding accommodations. [1]
