Welcome to Sacred Heart of Jesus School!
Our Mission
Following a long tradition of excellence, Sacred Heart of Jesus School places the teachings of Jesus at the center of a strong academic curriculum. We strive to educate the heart, mind, body and spirit of today's young people. The goal of Sacred Heart of Jesus School is to help each child become a faith-filled, responsible and productive member of society.
Our vision is that all students can learn and be successful. We recognize that students learn at various rates and in different ways. With this in mind, our teachers utilize diversified teaching strategies to make sure our vision of success is realized for all. "If students do not learn the way we teach, we must teach them the way they learn."
Our dedicated administration and staff work together to prepare our young people to depend on their faith in meeting the many challenges of today's world. It is our mission to provide our Sacred Heart students with the means to become faithful Catholics and Christians, loving family members, and compassionate, responsible leaders of their communities.
About Us
For over seventy five years we have been providing quality Catholic education for the Highland Falls, Fort Montgomery, Garrison, Cornwall and West Point communities. As parents search for the best education for their children, we continue to see increased enrollment from the surrounding communities. Children of all denominations are welcome at Sacred Heart of Jesus School.
Thoughts from our parents...
"Sacred Heart has been a true blessing
for us and our children. Small class size, superb faculty, and highly
capable administration allow us to have confidence that are children
are receiving a top-notch education. My wife and I both commute
from Cornwall-On-Hudson to work at West Point. Having the children
so close by allows us to attend their award ceremonies, plays, and
assemblies we otherwise would normally have to miss because of time
and distance from Cornwall. Having them only 5 minutes away also
provides us with a sense of security that if our children needed
us, we could be at the school quickly."

"We absolutely love Sacred Heart School. As
a military family with four children, it is often difficult for
the kids to settle into a new school. The family at Sacred Heart
made all of us feel special upon arrival. The values, religious
education, the teacher-student ratio and Catholic traditions drew
us to the school."

"Sacred Heart has been the greatest gift for my child. The compassion,
effort and non-stop communication from the teachers put my heart
at ease for the well being of my son during school hours. The teachers
and staff are truly heaven sent."

"Recently I spoke to a teacher about the classes they offer at the
middle school where she works. I asked her if they offered Spanish
in the seventh grade. Her answer was no. It wasn't offered until
the eighth grade. I was surprised because my son began taking Spanish
in the 2nd grade. In fact, presently Sacred Heart teaches Spanish
in Kindergarten through eighth grade. I also asked if they offered
Advanced Math at her school. Once again, her answer was no. Well
my son is in the 6th grade and is in the Advanced Math Class this
year. Once this teacher discovered where my son attends school she
stated that her school just can't compete with Sacred Heart academically."

"My son needed a structured and loving environment during his father's
deployment and Sacred Heart gave him that warm and loving place."

"Since our first day, Sacred Heart has been more than a school.
It has been a tight community that took us in. To my children, Sacred
Heart provides academic excellence, values and respect to the human
being, with love for life and faith. As parents, it provides the
opportunities to be an integral part of the school's success. All
these are possible thanks to exceptional teachers, principal and
staff."
