Lifelong Learners

Patriot Pen Essay Contest Winner
A seventh-grade Sacred Heart Parish School student essay on "When is the right time to honor our veterans?" was selected as the winner of the 2009 Veterans of Foreign Wars Hollister Post 9242 Patriot's Pen essay contest and will now compete in a district competition. The student a runner-up in last year's competition, had his writing named the best of 55 entries from junior high students from around San Benito County. He will receive a check for $200 and his essay - along with those of two local runners-up - will be entered in the district competition against essays by students from South San Francisco to King City.

Keeping Connected

We believe that both parents and teachers are the most significant role models for students, and the relationship between the two needs to model one of respect and caring. We believe that parents and staff agree that what is promoted or allowed at home and what is permissible or encouraged at school are consistent.
