Welcome to Sacred Heart Catholic School!

Dear Sacred Heart Families, 

Thank you for the opportunity to serve as your Sacred Heart Catholic School principal. I am deeply grateful and honored to be an integral part of our school community and to partner with you in the education and formation of our students.

For the past 33 years I have served in  education as a teacher, administrator, and district director, serving now as a Catholic school principal. My commitment to children and to high-quality education is central to who I am. I am a lifelong learner, flawed, but always striving  to follow God's will in all I do. I believe every child is a beloved child of God with unique gifts and inherent greatness. Our collaborative work is to help each child discover and use those gifts to honor God, oneself,  and others.

As an advocate for children, my commitment is to prioritize their safety, dignity, and growth—academically, spiritually, and personally. I value collaboration with families, staff, and parish partners and look forward to listening, learning, and working together to build a joyful, faith-filled, and academically strong school environment. I also commit to ongoing spiritual and professional growth so I can lead with humility, purpose, and fidelity to our Catholic mission.

There is purpose to everything we do. I am excited to be on this journey with you, and I welcome your prayers, your insights, and your partnership. Please, feel free to reach out to  share your hopes for our school and your God-given gifts or talents that will help our beautiful little school grow.  All for Jesus--Todo por Jesús!

With gratitude and blessings,

Altagracia H. Valles, M. Ed.
