About Us  Sacred Hearts Academy is the educational center of the Sisters of the Sacred Hearts. The Sisters arrived in the islands on May 4, 1859 and on July 9 of the same year opened Sacred Hearts Convent, a boarding and day school for young women, at the Catholic mission on Fort Street. In 1909, Bishop Libert Boeynaems, SS.CC., asked the Sisters to establish a Catholic secondary school for women in Kaimuki. Sacred Hearts Academy welcomed its first seventy-five students and nineteen boarders on September 12, 1909. Within a short time, the school expanded to include young women from kindergarten to the twelfth grade. In addition to the Convent and the Academy, the Sisters opened an orphanage, St. Anthony's Home, in 1909. They began St. Patrick School, Kaimuki, in 1930; St. Theresa School, Liliha, in 1931; Our Lady of Peace School, Nuuanu, in 1933; and Immaculate Conception School, Lihue, in 1951. All of these institutions have provided excellent Catholic education to thousands of young people. For various reasons throughout the years, the Sisters have passed on the administration of most of these schools to others. In 1986, they made a decision to consolidate their educational efforts at Sacred Hearts Academy which continues a commitment to quality Catholic education for women. |
