High School Placement Test 

Sacred Heart Academy is pleased to announce that we will suspend the High School Placement Test (HSPT) requirement for the 2020-2021 9th Grade application process. In light of the significant disruptions students are experiencing, we believe this change to our standardized testing policy will reduce stress and provide students with much greater flexibility as they navigate the high school admissions process. As a result, we have made changes to our scholarship application process for the Class of 2025.

Scholarships

Sacred Heart Academy merit scholarships are awarded to students applying to Grade 5, Grade 6 and Grade 9, who demonstrate exceptional academic performance, both in the classroom and on the scholarship-entrance exam. Art, Music and STEM scholarships are awarded to accepted Grade 9 students based on the criteria listed below.  

Please refer to the information on this page for scholarship details, application forms, and exam registration links.

Writing Essay and Rubric 

I find good character singing out through the halls of these buildings. I find love, I find support, and I find acceptance. I hold onto these values, and I carry them with me everyday, knowing where they are rooted.
