Sacred Heart Academy

Sacred Heart Academy Sacred Heart Academy is a small preK-12 school in Grand Rapids with a big vision for Catholic education. What makes Sacred Heart Academy different? Love.

Sacred Heart Academy is a preK-12 parish apostolate of Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish dedicated to assisting families, forming Catholics, and cultivating culture. Our educational ministry of serving families with children in preschool through 12th grade is rooted in the sacramental life of the Church. While growing in love of what is true, good, and beautiful, students are formed and edified by dail

y Mass, weekly Adoration, and monthly reconciliation. Love and Integrity. Love is the motive: what draws and excites the students should be a love of the thing studied. Love is also the aim. If we can speak in the tongues of men and angels, but we are not driven by love, then we just multiply the din that is our declining culture. Integrity. Integrity refers to the “wholeness” with which we address our work. Academic subjects are really artificial definitions in a common pursuit of one, unified Truth. We aim to form students according to the entirety of their persons - mind, body, soul. Our curriculum from Montessori to high school Humanities looks at objects and their integrated whole first and then particulars later. It is better to know what a thing is in itself before you dissect it, whether it be a poem, a painting, or a frog.

Seven Sacred Heart Academy students were selected to attend the 11th Annual Armed Forces Day of Thanksgiving event. They were included in the crowd of 695, including 216 students from 54 local high schools and 200 military personnel. This year is the academy's sixth year of representation. The day consisted of an open house in Ab-Nab-Awen Park, outside the Gerald R. Ford Museum. Students were able to hold conversations with veterans and those currently serving in both the Armed Forces and local first responders. They attended an inspirational Q & A session in the Ford Museum Auditorium, with Marcus Luttrell of "Lone Survivor" fame. The Caledonia Pipes and Drums band escorted the group to the Marriott, where students enjoyed a ceremonial lunch with employees and veterans of corporate sponsors. The day concluded with another Q & A with Marcus Luttrell.

The event's mission is to raise awareness and dialogue on the contributions our military personnel have made and continue to make on behalf of our country. These students have already met to plan future events to honor or raise money for veterans and first responders.

Students representing our Catholic high schools joined service members and community leaders at the 11th annual Armed Forces Thanksgiving Salute, honoring the brave men and women of our military — past, present, and future. From the ceremony at the Ford Museum to the procession across the bridge, the day was a meaningful reminder of gratitude, sacrifice, and community.
