More than a Cafeteria: A Space for Connection and Collaboration
Our Sacred Heart Academy students need a dining hall that reflects the excellence of the education they earn—a modern, welcoming space that matches their ambition and spirit.
The current dining hall, built in 1962, no longer meets the needs of our vibrant community and even poses a challenge in recruiting future Valkyries. A new dining hall is more than just a place to eat; it’s where sisterhood is nurtured, friendships are forged, and lifelong connections begin.
It also serves as a beautiful venue for alumnae events, strengthening the bond across generations. Investing in a new dining hall means investing in the heart of student life—where community, connection, and shared moments fuel the remarkable journey of every Sacred Heart student.

A Hub for Leadership, Collaboration, and Action
The new Student Life Hub will be the vibrant heart of Sacred Heart Academy, igniting leadership and collaboration at every turn.
Grounded in the Ursuline core values of Reverence, Service, Leadership, and Community, the hub unites vital offices—Campus Ministry, Community Service, the Jean Frazier Leadership Institute, and the Dean of Student Life—into one seamless center where faith fuels action.
This is where our students will connect, create, and lead with purpose, shaping a future defined by compassion and unity.
The stunning grand hall—adorned with the inspiring statue of St. Angela and the timeless words of Dear Sacred Heart—will serve as a powerful welcome area before the meeting room, Admissions area and a new conference room.
Having the new conference center in the front of SHA means freeing up our gym for what it’s meant to be—a place of energy and activity—while providing Sacred Heart Academy with a dedicated space for class gatherings, parent meetings, testing space, and alumnae events.
Alongside this, a welcoming Admissions area will warmly greet future Valkyries, offering them a first glimpse of the vibrant community they’re about to join.
Together, these spaces will embody the spirit of Sacred Heart, inviting all who enter to belong, dream, and lead with heart.
