It gives me great pleasure to announce that I received the official report from the Middle States Association of Accreditation regarding the status of our application for re-accreditation. The visiting committee was very impressed with our school environment, the faculty and staff, as well as the entire student body.

In their official report, they made the following commendations concerning our academic programs at Sacred Heart School:

The faculty and staff were recognized for their dedication and commitment to our students.
The learning environment in the classroom promotes the development of critical thinking skills with an emphasis on technology as a supplemental teaching tool.
The school provides a safe and loving environment for its students.
There is evidence of a support system for working parents with our extended daycare program.

We also received praise for our many extra curricular activities and the availability of gifted and talented science and art programs after school.

Thank you to all the parents and parishioners who have generously supported our wonderful school throughout the years. We would not be able to offer such a quality education and wonderful school environment to our students without your continual support and cooperation. We are truly blessed to have your presence in our parish and school community.

The Middle States Accreditation representative formally presented me with a plaque acknowledging the school's completion of the re-accreditation process. This plaque was presented at the first Home and School Association's meeting for the new school year. This officially concluded the long journey that our school has taken toward re-accreditation. May God bless each and every one of your for all that you have done and continue to do to make Sacred Heart School and parish "the best that it can be"!

Sincerely,

Sr. Marie DiLorenzo, SSM
