Welcome to Sacred Heart Elementary!
Sacred Heart Elementary School




Sacred Heart Elementary School is a parish school serving children from preschool through 8th grade. It is one of the oldest and largest Catholic schools in Pittsburgh. Founded by the Sisters of Charity, it has been serving families in the Pittsburgh area for more than 130 years.

The school also embraces many international families who work and study in Pittsburgh. We celebrate this diversity of cultures with a Children of the World International Program.

"Every culture enriches our lives with its own unique beauty and wisdom. Yet we all share the same hopes and dreams, the same need for love and home and kinship. These are the common threads that bind us together as one family in our world."

Apply Online for Parent Clearances
As you read in the newsletter, all parents involved in any volunteer work at school (including lunch duty, field trips, fish fry, and sports programs) are being asked to fill out a paper or online application with the diocese. Many parents may have already obtained clearances, but the Diocese is centralizing all of this information in a database. Even if you have previously applied for clearances, please fill out this application as soon as possible. The Diocese has offered to pay the $7 charge for all those who apply during June. To apply online, go to www.diopitt.org, scroll down and click on "Diocese of Pittsburgh Database Application" on the left side of screen. At top of new page takes you to, click on place indicated for those without user ID. This will take you to an application. The first section to fill in is Parish Affiliation. Choose "Pittsburgh: Sacred Heart School" in that spot because it is the primary affiliation for all of us." On the first page of the application, it will also ask for an access code; enter the word "protect" (no quotes). If you are unable to apply online, please fill out the paper application sent home in the last brown envelope and Sr. Lynn will enter it online for you. Call the school if you need a new application or have questions. While this process may seem a bit tedious, please keep in mind it is being requested for the protection your children. Thanks for your cooperation.
