Can’t wait to greet everyone tonight at 6:30 in the church. Great info, important handouts and lots of appreciation for partnering with SHOJ to prepare minds for the future and souls for eternity.
Thank you for your generous donations for Children's Mercy! Thanks to these students for organizing!
We have the best hot lunch program.
Still smiling from our first day. Sacred Heart of Jesus, make our hearts like yours.
When we say Sacred Heart is like a family, this is what we mean. In December of 2008, the moms and babies in the top pic gathered for Ms. Gardner’s 1st grade class Christmas party. The babies each had an older sibling in that class. Those 1st graders (not pictured) are Juniors in college. The babies? Today marks the last “first” day for those babies in the top pic as they begin their 8th grade year. See a failed attempt to recreate the pic as the babies were too big to hold. Mrs. Coup had to use a stand in because her baby is a freshman at Saint James Academy. SHOJ- a place where families grow in love and friendship as they remain Rooted in Christ.
Welcome back Cardinals!
The doors are decorated and we can’t wait to welcome back students tomorrow morning. It’s a great day to be a Cardinal.
Thanks to Allison Carney and Lorenzo Rizzi , from the school office, for spending time with the staff to consider how a data informed culture can benefit everything we do at SHOJ. We are so excited about the 2022-2023 school year. Go Cardinals!
SHOJ teachers are back. Excited and ready for a great school year. Rooted in Christ.
Hello Sacred Heart of Jesus Family! My name is Katie Crow and I am joining the team all the way from Florida where I taught at a public middle school. This year, I will be teaching Reading at the middle school level. I am excited for the opportunity to share not only my love for reading, but also my faith with my students. I look forward to the novels we will share together this year as we dive headfirst into literature. When not working, I enjoy taking long nature walks with my dog and playing board games with friends. Let's have a great year!
My name is Tristin Martin I was raised in Indianapolis, Indiana. I have lived in different parts of the US including San Antonio, St. Paul Minnesota, and San Francisco California. I have also traveled the world for Catholic Mission work with NET and FOCUS ministries and took a trip to Ireland. I have a black lab named Piper and I am a huge dog lover! I am a convert to the Catholic faith. I grew to love my faith while attending Ball State University in Indiana at a Newman center. While serving as a missionary I grew very close to children of all ages. I realized then that I wanted to go back to school to become a teacher. I am now in a Masters of Education for Reading Specialist program at Fort Hays State University. I love being a teacher and am excited to be a part of the Sacred Heart of Jesus community!
Hi Sacred Heart of Jesus! My name is Patty Judd, and I am excited to be the new Kindergarten teacher! I just graduated from Benedictine College (go ravens!) with a B.A. in Elementary Education. I am so excited to begin my teaching career where I can share the love of Christ and my passion for reading with my students! Besides teaching, I love running, trying new recipes, and reading. I look forward to a great year!
Mr. Gaustad will be teaching middle school science this year. Here is his greeting:
I am excited for the 2022-2023 school year to begin! I am thrilled to be back at Sacred Heart, as I finished my student teaching here last year. I will be teaching science in the 6th, 7th, and 8th grade. I have the unique perspective of having been a Sacred Heart parishioner and parent before becoming a teacher, and there is nowhere else that I would rather be! I have a 3rd grader and a 1st grader, as well as a future Cardinal still at home. We have so many interesting science activities planned, and I cannot wait to see all of you!
