“We are particularly struck with the numberof alumnae who are sending their daughters to Sacred Heart," said Elaine Lamboley, Director of Admissions. "The presence of these young women at the Academy is a testament to the importance that families place on values learned here and their desire to ensure that the Sacred Heart tradition of excellence continues.”
The Class of 2016 will be officially inducted into the Sacred Heart community at Freshman Commissioning on Tuesday, Sept. 25 at 7 p.m. when freshman parents will attend the commissioning service and reception with their daughters.
