Sacred Heart Catholic School is a Catholic parish Preschool through 8th grades serving our families from Patterson and its surrounding communities.
Our dedicated faculty and staff, in partnership with the parents, offer our students a quality academic foundation.
As we teach for skill development, intellectual enrichment, and academic and physical excellence, we challenge and prepare our children for their future growth in today's society.
We create an atmosphere in which Catholic values, traditions and ideals are fundamental to our academic vision for cultivating faith formation, personal integrity, and life-long learning.
We are a people who strive to live out the gospel in wholesome, authentic, and healing relationships.
Furthermore, in Christian education, we help to engender an environment that allows for mystery which opens us to the fundamental reality of God who transcends the human mind.
