Whether your child(ren) attended SHS recently or several years ago, you will always be considered part of our community. As parents of alumni (PALs), you play an important role in connecting our past, present, and future. Your continued involvement helps ensure that our school thrives well into the next century.

The PALs program offers multiple ways to reconnect with old friends, learn about new school initiatives, and stay active within our vibrant community. From spiritual, enrichment, and service activities, to athletic, arts, and social events--whatever your interest. PALs e-newsletters enable you to stay up-to-date on the latest news and special invitations.

With so many families rooted in the Sacred Heart community for the duration of their children's academic years--a span that can last up to 15 years per child, preschool through grade 12--it's no wonder that parents of alumni remain among our most ardent school supporters. PALs class reps help keep Gator Nation alive, maintaining communication between the school and PALs, promoting events, and keeping the school apprised of alumni news and changing contact information. They help ensure past parent connections and interests are maintained with each other and Sacred Heart Schools.

The SHP Class of 2023 PALs Class Reps are:

Christina Ching (Andrew Rocha), Renee Fitzpatrick (Brennan),

Joy Ghamgosar (Dario), Susie Hornbeek (Casey), Keara Meyercord (Ashlin), Sharon Purcell (Maggie), Mirhiya Sampson (Elizabeth Madigan), and Patrice Wilbur (Conrad)

To learn more about our PALs Class Reps program, or to volunteer, please email alumni@shschools.org.
