SHC Mission & History
Who We Are
Inspired by the Daughters of Charity and the De La Salle Christian Brothers, in partnership with families, Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory’s mission is to provide the finest education in an inclusive Catholic community of faith. We prepare our students to become service-oriented leaders with a commitment to living the Gospel. In the spirit and vision of our Holy Founders, SHC educates students by the tenets of the Gospel to build a faith-based community and serve others with compassion. This core Catholic understanding helps to ground, guide and bind our community and serves as the nurturing backdrop to academic success.
SHC’s story is one of determination, resilience and a continued commitment to serving San Francisco’s youth. The school’s history is inextricably linked to the founding of the city of San Francisco, and thus, our physical placement in the urban center of San Francisco holds a theoretical significance as well. We have played a part in San Francisco’s history just as it has played a part in ours.
