Extracurricular and co-curricular activities are provided by Sacred Heart School to appeal to the interests, talents and needs of the student body. Each student is encouraged to participate in these activities for his/her own enjoyment and development. These after-school activities are numerous and varied. Organizations and clubs include participants in academic activities and projects, literary work, community service projects and school spirit.
