Sacred Heart Academy, Hempstead, is an allgirls
Catholic college preparatory school, rooted
in the spirituality and tradition of the Sisters of St.
Joseph. The all-girls environment provides unique
learning opportunities that cultivate confidence
and leadership skills, and encourage students to
“take the lead.”
A Sacred Heart education focuses on all
dimensions of human growth. As a school
community, it is committed to live, learn and work
with inclusive love and to bring about unity and
reconciliation with God and with one another.
Student achievement is the best indication of
Sacred Heart Academy’s excellence. Over 90%
of graduates were awarded college scholarships
for academics, athletics and the arts. The athletic
teams are consistently ranked among the best
on Long Island and the United States, and the
student-artists and dancers excel in local and
national competitions.
The Academy’s Bloomberg Finance Lab and
state-of-the-art Science Research Lab prepare
students for competitive opportunities. Above
all, however, SHA students are critical thinkers
who actively integrate their education into their
lives and routinely find ways to make a difference
through a commitment to community service and
social justice.
Some fast facts about Sacred Heart Academy:
• 98% of Sacred Heart Academy graduates
attend four-year colleges.
• Each student is required to complete at least
20 hours of community service annually. Most
students far exceed this, devoting up to 200
hours of their time each term to helping their
neighbors.
• Thanks to an exceptional 15:1 student-teacher
ratio, combined with a faculty extraordinarily
dedicated to students’ success, students
routinely surpass peers in standardized state
test scores and the majority earn Advanced
Designation Regents Diplomas.
