 Nature of the Collaboration
Membership
in the Network provides each school with opportunities for
collaboration. The Network and its members seek to share their work and
to collaborate whenever possible with other educational organizations
as well as with other works within the Society of the Sacred Heart.
Purpose and Activities
A
national association, the Network of Sacred Heart Schools has 19 full
and 2 provisional member schools who are independent but historically
related and who share a commitment to the vision expressed nearly 200
years ago by St. Madeleine Sophie Barat, foundress of the Society of
the Sacred Heart. In the Goals and Criteria of 1990, the document that
defines the vision of Sacred Heart education in the United States
today, Sacred Heart educators commit themselves to educate to:
- a personal and active faith in God
- a deep respect for intellectual values
- a social awareness that impels to action
- the building of community as a Christian value
- personal growth in an atmosphere of wise freedom
Through its members, the Network serves students in grades
Pre-Kindergarten - 12, faculty, staff and other members of its
community by providing services and programs, including trustee
education, student summer service opportunities and national
conferences and workshops for faculty and staff on educational and
professional topics. Some rscj directly involved are: Madeleine Sophie
Ortman, Executive Director, Carol Haggarty, RSCJ, Assistant Executive
Director.

Nourishing the Spirit
Take time to work, it is the price of success.
Take time to think, it is the source of power.
Take time to play, it is the secret of perpetual youth.
Take time to read, it is the foundation of wisdom...
