Irish for a Night Serves Up SHC Spirit

Tuesday's Irish for a Night (IFAN), Sacred Heart Cathedral’s event to introduce grade schoolers and families unfamiliar with the school to experience high-school spirit at SHC, was another rousing success as more than 1,000 attendees, including potential future Fightin’ Irish students and parents representing 122 Bay Area schools, crowded the Pavilion to watch the girls varsity volleyball team defeat Presentation High School 3-0.

The evening featured many activities and entertainment, including free swag giveaways, a special cheering section for Irish for a Night attendees and rousing music provided by the SHC Band.

“This event is such a unique opportunity for families to experience our campus and witness SHC Spirit at its absolute best. The athletic atmosphere, the sound of the band and the energy our students and families bring to the game were on full display—and our visiting grade-school families had a blast.”

Attendees also had a unique opportunity to meet with SHC Admissions staff members to learn more about the educational programs offered at the school, including Winter Institute, which offers students and athletes (5th–8th graders) a variety of enrichment workshops and sports clinics to stay active and engaged throughout the season.

“The Admissions team hosts many events on campus that allow future SHC families to see and feel what it means to be a part of this special and inclusive community,” Lim said. “Irish for a Night, while still in its infancy, is a major event for us and we already have one planned for next semester.”

With IFAN now over, the Admissions Department is preparing for its biggest event of the year—Open House on Saturday, October 26. RSVP today for an opportunity to walk through our state-of-the-art facilities, speak to our teachers in their classrooms, and mingle with our student community.
