Admission Guidelines

Sacred Heart School in the Diocese of Sacramento, mindful of our primary mission to be witnesses to the love of Christ for all, admits students of any race, color, and national and/or ethnic origin to all rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students as this school. Sacred Heart Parish School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and /or ethnic origin, age, gender or disability in the administration of education policies, scholarships and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.

Acceptance of a student into Sacred Heart means that the family of the student is also accepted into our school community. Students along with their families are expected to reinforce the Christian community at our school. No one will be admitted who, in the judgment of the administration, will not have her/his needs met at Sacred Heart Parish School. Complete admission policies are outlined annually within “Sacred Heart Parish School Registration Information and Policies” packets, including priority of admittance, entrance and continual enrollment requirements, class size, and student records.
