Our Sacred Heart Identity

As a student at a Sacred Heart School, our students are a part of a global network of educational institutions in 41 countries that are committed to the same core principles. The Network provides a means for mutual support and development among its schools through the sharing of spiritual and intellectual resources as well as others to further the mission of Sacred Heart schools. Member schools have many opportunities for collaboration. Students, faculty, staff, administrators, and trustees participate in national Network workshops, conferences, and programs.

The Network of Sacred Heart Schools, headquartered in Washington, D.C., is a nonprofit corporation and is governed by an executive committee that includes the provincial of the Society of the Sacred Heart, United States - Canada, the Director of Network Program Planning and the Head of the Conference of Sacred Heart Education. The members of the executive committee are present or former heads of school and present or former trustees of Network schools.

Woodlands Academy operates independently (governed by our Board of Trustees), but is entrusted by the Society of the Sacred Heart to fulfill our mission in accordance with the Goals and Criteria.
