**Mission Statement** Sacred Heart School, a ministry of Sacred Heart Parish, provides a comprehensive Catholic education to children in kindergarten through eighth grades in Red Bluff and surrounding communities. We foster the growth of each student as a sacred individual, in a safe environment that promotes Gospel values, Catholic traditions, and academic excellence.. Sacred Heart Parish School offers grade level curriculum that is in alignment with the California State Standards which have been adopted by the Sacramento Diocese. In addition,we pride ourselves in offering a daily enriched curriculum which develops each child spiritually,socially,physically,emotionally and academically. Regardless of the age of the student,we challenge ourselves to create life long learners. Our Schoolwide Learning Expectations are clearly posted in each classroom and are sent home. Each child can expect to be challenged in the core subjects of math,science,language arts,and social sciences with not only direct instruction but with hands on experience such as the Science Faire,the Tehama County Literary Festival,the Duck Stamp Art Contest and the CSU Chico math project. Our religion program offers opportunities to provide service to local and global needs. The children visit local Nursing Homes,actively contribute to the Christian Foundation f or Children and Aging program by sponsoring a child who lives in the Philippines and the Heifer Project which provides animals and plants/trees for villages in third world countries. In developing the whole child we feel it is important to teach and model respect for one another. The Sacred Heart Acts of Courtesy detail appropriate ways to handle daily interpersonal situations that occur in the classroom,on the playground,and at home.
