Happy St. Patrick's Day-Non-uniform wear green or wear uniform. (Follow guidelines of our non-uniform policy.

NON-UNIFORM ATTIRE - Non-Uniform coupons allowed on Wednesdays.
Students may occasionally be allowed the privilege of a non-uniform day. These instances may be for special occasions or earned through classroom award. Student cooperation is the key to the implementation and success of a non-uniform dress code. Non uniform clothing should reflect Christian values with respect to graphics, lettering and physical fit.

As parents of children in a Catholic school, please use your best judgment in regards to any example not listed. As with the regular uniform policy, students and parents are asked to comply with this policy, so it doesn’t interfere with the education of our students. Students who do not adhere to the dress code may need to remain in the office until their parents

Shirts: The non-uniform policy includes shirts with sleeves, blouses, sweaters, sweatshirts, turtlenecks, knit shirts or T-shirts. Midriffs, tank tops, tight fitting tops in which the stomach and lower back show, under garments and shirts with indecent or inappropriate language, pictures, or ads are not allowed.

Skirts/Dresses/Shorts: Skirts, dresses and shorts must be mid-thigh which is the base of middle finger tip with arms fully extended at side. If shorter dresses are worn, then opaque tights or leggings must be worn. No biker shorts or cut offs allowed.

Bottoms: The non-uniform policy includes slacks, jeans, cargo pants, athletic pants, or capris in good condition. Examples of some restrictions include: no jeans or pants with holes/tears/ripping, pants with writing across the back, low rider pants which display undergarments, flannel pants or pajama bottoms.

No leggings, jeggings, or yoga pants for grades 5-8.

Shoes: No Crocs, slippers, slides

At our gala, we retired Brady's basketball number.

Brady’s love for basketball at Sacred Heart Catholic School was undeniable. He played with enthusiasm, determination, and heart, always giving his best for his team. Number 13 wasn’t just a jersey—it was a symbol of his commitment and love for the game.

Life took an unexpected turn when Brady was involved in a tragic car crash caused by a drunk driver. While the accident changed his path, it did not change his spirit, his courage, or the impact he has had on all of us. Brady’s strength reminds us that true champions are not just made on the court but in the way they face life’s challenges.

In honor of Brady and all that he means to this school, this team, and this community, we are retiring jersey number 13. No one else will wear his number on the basketball court because it will always belong to Brady—a testament to his dedication and the unbreakable spirit he continues to show every day.

Congratulations to the following Sacred Heart graduates for making the honor roll in high school!

Thank you for preparing them well for the rigor of high school.

MN Fundraising Initiative (MNFI) secures contracts with over 23 venues in the greater Twin Cities area including Target Field, Target Center, Canterbury, and US Bank to operate food and beverage concessions stands at their events.

MNFI organizes teams of volunteers from all over the state of MN and WI who work together to run these stands. In turn, MNFI receives donations from these venues. The donations are then used to award grants to families in local communities to allow youth to attend private school, such as Sacred Heart Catholic School and participate in enrichment activities they may not otherwise be able to enjoy. Checks are mailed directly to Sacred Heart in your name.

Many of our school families use this organization to help pay for tuition.
