Sacred Heart at the Cardinal's Awards Dinner
This year
Sacred Heart High School
was honored to be among the beneficiaries of this event with proceeds advancing development of the campaign for a gym.
The Cardinal's Awards dinner began in the late 1980's. "In 2010 Archbishop José H. Gomez outlined his pastoral initiatives for the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. Catholic Education is one of his principal Initiatives. At the suggestion of the Archbishop, the Cardinal's Awards Committee, the Department of Catholic Schools and the Catholic Education Foundation are working collaboratively to identify cutting-edge programs to fund for the benefit of children across the Archdiocese most in need of our help."

Student Life
Embracing, Empowering and Inspiring Beyond the Classroom
Sacred Heart is home to a plethora of different clubs and student-led organizations. The
"Decorative Onion," founded by Karla Saracay '17, is one of these. The club seeks to provide an outlet of self-expression for girls in a creative and artistic way.
Recently, the
club hosted its first open-mic night, in which anyone interested could perform a piece of music or writing. As the event was not limited to just Sacred Heart, students from Cathedral High School and Bosco Tech participated as well, performing their own songs or pieces of poetry. The night was a huge success: students were able to express themselves in a fun and creative way in a warm and accepting environment. It was an opportunity to meet people and make new friendships as well. The club is excited to host more events similar to this, in hope that more students are inspired to participate and express themselves with others.
Thank you to Alexis Huerta '17 for sharing this experience with us.
Empowering our Comets continues beyond the classroom thanks to our wonderful educators whose passion for teaching never stops. Thank you Mr. Kinman!

Gathering information on how to create your own estate plan or renew one that you might already have in place is a sacred moment in each of our lives. It is a time to look back and to look forward. It is a moment to be grateful, to be thoughtful, and to be practical for your own circumstances. It is a time to plan your legacy of a faithful life for future generations. It is a very precious time.
If you are interested in gathering current legal and faith-based estate planning information, please contact Rachel Sanchez to register or to inquire further at (323) 225-2209 or email

Student Life
If you missed the highlights of this past month on our social media we share some of these with you today:
- Last week,the Celestial Class of 2018 embarked on a spiritual journey of self-discovery and fulfillment during the Kairos Retreat. It was an intense, moving experience in which our young women were able to grow closer in their relationship with God, themselves, and each other.
- The Softball Team has begun the season!
- The Comet Track and Field Team is back in action!!! They have been going strong, keeping up a victorious record since the start of this new season. They are confident their hard work and dedication will take them all the way to League Champions.
- This year's Play Day theme was Tim Burton Movies! Freshmen got "Beetlejuice," Sophomores chose "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," Juniors picked "Alice in Wonderland," and Seniors decided on "The Nightmare Before Christmas". The seniors swept in the most points, taking first place! Congratulations Celestials!!!
- In light of the current Lenten season, students joined their individual family groups to take part in the Lent Reconciliation Service. It was a moment of prayer and reflection in which the girls were able to look inward and contemplate themselves and their relationship with God.
- Women's History Month was brought to a festive close at a special assembly.
- Our list of Seniors from the Class of 2017, who have received acceptance notifications from colleges and universities continues to grow:
- Congratulations to Brittany Ramirez for your acceptances to Cal State University, Los Angeles; Benedictine University at Mesa, and Mount Saint Mary's University!!!

| Tomorrow's results are created by today's dreamers. Many people dream of a way to leave a legacy that would help Sacred Heart High School grow into the future. Some find that a good way to accomplish this goal is to designate Sacred Heart as the beneficiary of all or part of a retirement plan or life insurance policy. For further information, please contact Rachel Sanchez in the Office of Alumnae and Development at (323) 225-2209. |
