Sacred Heart High School is a private, Roman Catholic high school in Yonkers, New York. It is in the jurisdiction of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York. It is the only Catholic high school in Yonkers.[2]
[edit] History
Sacred Heart was opened in 1923.[2]
In 1925 The Rev. Cyprian Abler, O.F.M. Cap, completed the high school by adding four rooms to the building which then served as a preparatory Capuchin Seminary. He and the Sisters of St. Agnes received full state accreditation in 1926. Affiliation with the University of the State of New York, and accreditation by the Board of Regents were achieved on April 30, 1930.[inconsistent]
The school began to grow and in the late 40’s and early 50’s, it accommodated a little over 200 students. In 1954, the Archdiocese gave Father Finian Sullivan permission to expand the facilities. Through his efforts, two wings were added to the school. Upon completion, there were 16 additional classrooms, a cafeteria, and a library.
The De La Salle Brothers of the Christian Schools came to Sacred Heart in September, 1965. Their arrival coincided with Sacred Heart changing from a co-institutional to a co-educational school. By 1967 the circular building was completed for occupancy, containing science laboratories with the latest in modern equipment, carpeted classrooms, and a 2,178-square-foot (202.3 m2) gymnasium.
