Admissions Process for the Class of 2027

Thank you for your interest in Sacred Heart Academy for your daughter.  If you have any questions about the admissions process, please call the Admissions Office at 834-2101 ext. 311.  We look forward to welcoming you!

Step 2 - Shadow Day
Sign up here.

We welcome 8th grade girls to Shadow for a Day. Shadow days begin Monday, September 26.  Students will be paired with a ninth or tenth grade girl (either someone you request or who shares similar interests) and attend classes, go to lunch, meet faculty and staff, and learn more about being a SHA girl.  

 

Step 4 - Take the Catholic High School Entrance Exam.  After December 3, the entrance exam will be scheduled by individual appointment.

Print out the confirmation email, sign and bring to your daughter’s guidance office. The guidance counselor will forward us the required documents (final report cards from 6th, 7th grades and first quarter grades from 8th grade, and past standardized testing, when available).  Students who select Sacred Heart Academy as their first choice will receive a confirmation of their application along with scholarship and financial aid information.  Students who select Sacred Heart as their second choice or third choice will also be considered for admission and must submit a letter of recommendation.

 Step 6 - Acceptance Letters Mailed
