Welcome to the Sacred Heart School Alumni Gateway page. Look here for information for contacts, newsletters, reunion information and more. All graduates are invited and encouraged to submit announcements and reunion/class websites for publication on this page or for posting in the parish weekly Guardian. Stay in touch!
Our parish school is over 100 years old, opened on Michigan Avenue in 1918. The high school was closed in 1975. It was not until the 1990’s that a group of high school graduates formed Sacred Heart Alumni Association (SHAA). More than 25 years later we remain part of Parish history and the Parish community.
SHAA runs under the Parish umbrella, with the purpose to promote Catholic education and friendships among both graduates and former students of Sacred Heart School. Our annual newsletter, The Excalibur, is published each January. We invite shares of special memories or current activities, including alum meetups. Alumni are invited to gather at Ford Field during the City of Dearborn's Homecoming Weekend to chat and sign up as SHAA members. Additionally, we are proud to sponsor and yearly award two partial scholarships to SH school and Parish eighth graders who wish to continue their Catholic education at an area Catholic high school. Also, we continue to make annual donations to the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (IHM) for their decades of faithful service and education to our Parish community. Lastly, we gladly pay the hall rental for any Sacred Heart alumni groups who wish to use the Parish Hall for their reunions.
Dues are minimal, just $5 a year, and members choose to receive their yearly Excalibur by mail or email. At the bottom of this page, click to pull up a printable application.
Consider joining our very friendly group!
Alumni friends come to chat and join our annual 1pm photo opp, always taken on the Saturday of Dearborn Homecoming. Because of the unprecedented pandemic, Homecoming was cancelled. However, consider joining us in 2022 !
What some have dubbed as “Shamrockapalooza,” an all-day talent show day was a chance for Sacred Heart's grade school kids to be onstage. Check out the videos on this website, featuring students from 1985-2019 (who are now grade school alumni). Therese Terns, a 1970 high school alumna and elementary school teacher, continually emceed the annual event on St. Patrick’s Day.
