Why Choose Sacred Heart

Sacred Heart High School has a long and a proud tradition spanning over eight decades and having produced 11,000 graduates. The Sacred Heart family has great pride in its school and a great love of our community.

Many of our graduates are accomplished professionals who give so much back to their school by sharing their experiences and their expertise with our students. A number of our alumni are also involved as members of Sacred Heart’s Board of Directors or as class agents. Their guidance and their support allow us to continue meeting the needs of the families we serve in the Greater Waterbury community.

In order to be considered for admission to Sacred Heart as a transfer student, an applicant must complete and submit the following:

  • Application for admissions
  • Copy of high school transcripts
  • One letter of recommendation from a teacher or guidance counselor
  • An appointment for an interview with our Admissions Office should be made by calling (203) 753-1605

Our Principal will evaluate transfer credits and will apply them toward completion of our graduation requirements. Transfer students are considered on the basis of their academic record at the high school previously attended, provided that they withdrew honorably. Transfer decisions are made and applicants are admitted based on class availability. A response two weeks after being notified of acceptance is required by the applicant.

As a general rule, we do not accept mid-year junior or senior transfers.
