History
Sacred Heart School was founded in 1957 after Sacred Heart Parish moved from what is now downtown Saratoga to the school's current location on Saratoga Avenue. The school opened its doors in 1957 as a 4-grade school to address the growing need for a Catholic school in the area. However the school was quickly expanded both physically and in the number of grades to incorporate K–8 educational levels to serve the community needs. It would remain as such until the school was further expanded in 2000 with the addition of the Pre-K program.
