History

Sacred Heart School was established in 1886. The construction of the school in 1886 was an ambitious undertaking of the young parish consisting of 424 families. Under Father Gerald Geary's leadership as pastor, the parishioners gave top priority to the establishment of a parish school. Archbishop John Joseph Mitty of the Archdiocese of San Francisco approved the building contract in 1956. The Ladies Guild and the Mens Club, along with the strong financial support of the parishioners, raised sufficient money to complete the eight-room building by 5 September 1957, the opening day of school.^[1]
