GIVING BACK
A cornerstone of the Sacred Heart experience is service, and the team carries this commitment into the local STEM community through our work with remote and in-person outreach partners. Starting in 9th grade, students have the opportunity to work with the service partner of their choice, all of which center around bringing quality STEM education to the less fortunate.
OUR FOCUS
Sharing our passion for the world of STEM
At the center of our service approach is the love of robotics and STEM; as longtime participants in the robotics world, our students understand the power of technology-oriented education to change lives. And as students of the Sacred Heart, we are motivated to share this experience with others.
PARTNERS
Giving back, both at home and in the community at large
Across our various service partners, one thing is constant; a mission of delivering low or no-cost STEM education to passionate students. Whether it is remotely or in-person, our students are always looking for new opportunities to push this mission forward.
