Description

Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory is a Roman Catholic co-educational high school that provides a college-preparatory education to students from San Francisco and its surrounding communities. The De La Salle Christian Brothers, the Daughters of Charity, and dedicated lay persons, in collaboration with the Archdiocese of San Francisco, have joined their educational ministries to serve the needs of youth who choose to participate in the multifaceted experience of a school deeply rooted in tradition. Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory welcomes students from diverse ethnic, social, and religious backgrounds into a school community that integrates Catholic beliefs with a challenging academic curriculum and a balanced student activities program. Inspired by and grounded in the philosophies and visions of St. John Baptist de La Salle and St. Vincent de Paul, the respective Founders of the Brothers of the Christian Schools and the Daughters of Charity, the school aims to help students live the Gospel, build a faith community, and serve others. Faculty and staff provide each student with a quality college preparatory education and an opportunity to grow in his or her relationship with God. They strive to impart to each student the means to develop relationships founded on mutual respect and a belief in the intrinsic dignity of all people. They endeavor to nurture in each student a positive and realistic sense of pride and self-esteem. In this educational environment, all are invited to learn from and to teach one another so that each person may be enriched by the diversity of our community. The professional educators, both religious and lay, who minister to the students of Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory strive to exemplify a love of learning, unconditional respect for all people, and a commitment to God. The faculty encourages students to develop their personal talents and to ready themselves to be fully contributing members of society. To this end, the students partake in a well-balanced program of religion, arts, sciences, athletics, and social and service activities. Through these experiences students learn to develop a vision that is sensitive to different environmental and human conditions, a vision enhanced by a faculty of religious educators who help students clarify and deepen their own personal commitment to God, to others, and to self. Within the context of this educational experience, student freedom and self-direction are commensurate with maturity and responsibility. Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory is a family-inclusive environment. Parents and faculty are partners in a collaborative process aimed at providing an enriching educational experience. The active involvement of parents and guardians with their sons and daughters is an essential component of our educational partnership. Because our school community is an extension of family, our administration, faculty, and staff are committed to exhausting all possible resources in order to ensure the success of each student who embraces the spirit of our community. Successful student-centered education requires an environment of mutual respect and cooperation. Thus, Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory insists on an orderly campus and a mode of behavior that complements its religious and academic programs. Through these measures, the school community hopes to promote an awareness of human dignity and an understanding of socially appropriate and acceptable behavior. A true Catholic education invites students to pursue the ultimate goals espoused in the Gospels and in the teachings and traditions of the Catholic Church. At Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory, we commit to this undertaking with an eye to the good of those societies of which students are or will be members and in whose responsibilities they will share. We also strive for excellence with due regard for the gifts and talents of each individual student. Through the combined efforts of parents, students, administration, faculty, and staff, we work to enable each student to reach his or her religious, social, and academic maturity marked by a zealous commitment to God, an abiding dedication to society, and a confident belief in the worth of oneself. In these endeavors we are a hopeful, joyful, and prayerful community firm in our belief that we are integrating the school's vision within a meaningful world of action.
