Welcome Sacred Heart faculty and staff, students, family, friends, and of course, the class of 2025!

It is a true honor to stand before you today as we celebrate the graduating class of Sacred Heart School.

To each of you, I want to say—what a joy and privilege it has been to witness your journey. From your earliest days at SHS, with wide eyes and eager hearts, to today, standing tall, ready to take your next steps into high school, you have grown in so many ways—intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually.

Watching you grow has been a blessing. I’ve seen your perseverance in challenges, your kindness toward one another, and your commitment to faith, even when the world felt uncertain. I’ve watched you develop into thoughtful young people who are ready to make a difference.

As you leave SHS, I pray that you carry all that you have learned here into everything you do. Let your light shine brightly in the world, and never forget that you are deeply loved by God, by your families, and by all of us here.

I wish you nothing but the best in all the years to come. May you continue to grow into the people God created you to be.

Congratulations, Class of 2025. We are so proud of you.
