St. Angela Merici was a woman who lived in the 1500’s. Her life and actions reflected reverence, service, leadership, and community. St. Angela founded a group of women called the Company of Saint Ursula from which the Ursuline religious order developed. Ursuline Sisters arrived in Louisville in 1858 from Straubing, Germany to teach local German immigrant children. In 1877, they founded began the legacy of Sacred Heart Schools, with the founding of Sacred Heart Academy and continue to sponsor Sacred Heart Schools today. Read more about St. Angela here.
At the end of the school year at all four Sacred Heart Schools, teachers and staff were also recognized for their time in service to SHS. Including staff members from Office of Administrative Services (OAS), Dr. Karen McNay celebrated 44 employees with 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, or 30 years in service to Ursuline Campus—a combined 530 years of service! Employees were recognized at honors celebrations, staff meetings and end-of-year lunches. The commitment and longevity of our teachers and staff demonstrate that Sacred Heart Schools is a valuable community and a desirable place to call home. After all, home is where the HEART is!
