We believe in Sacred Heart Academy and in it’s creed.
We believe that SHA has heard our cry and filled our need.
We believe that none could ever go astray
Who learned from you to live and pray.
We believe, we believe.
We believe that of our days the greatest one is that today,
Because now the time has come to go alone along the way.
Now we’ll know that what you’ve taught us through the years
Has not been in vain; was worth the pain,
And we will know if we believe.

    My aunt was class of 1964 and my mom was class of 1966. They both went K-12 in Catholic schools (Cathedral K-8).
