    We adore Sacred Heart. My son is in his second year there. His kindergarten teacher has ignited his love for learning!
    He is excited to go to school every day. The teacher makes learning fun. He even loves homework! One assignment was to copy as many words as possible from a page of the newspaper.
    He loved it - he was so focused on finishing this task! His letters all went in the right direction, and nothing was out of order. What a creative task to get the kids excited about writing.

    Sacred Heart Catholic School in Hattiesburg is a very special place. The diversity, culture and uniqueness of the children here is what reminded me of home. Moving here from New Orleans I wanted a very diverse school that focused on the arts and music while giving my children the best challenging education in an engaging atmosphere. Sacred Heart is that and so much more!
    We are a family at Sacred Heart. We root for each other, we are proud of each other’s kids cause they are our kids too. We cry together we take care of each other and we have fun! Our teachers are the best around! My children have competed nationally in competitions where others can see the difference our SHS family makes. It’s the best choice for education in Mississippi.
