Sacred Heart-Griffin High School, often abbreviated SHG, is Springfield, Illinois' largest private high school. The school is Roman Catholic and is located in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Springfield in Illinois. It opened in the fall of 1988 after Sacred Heart Academy, an all-girls Catholic high school merged with Griffin High School, an all-boys Catholic High School located across the street. Even prior to the merger, certain classes at both schools were taught on a co-educational basis. The part of campus which formerly housed Griffin High School is now known as the West Campus. The part of campus which was home to Sacred Heart Academy is known as the East Campus. Both facilities are used by SHG, with most of the school's athletic facilities being located on the West Campus and the majority of the academic facilities being located on the East Campus. On the school's East Campus is a motherhouse for a Dominican order of religious sisters.
Athletics
All of the sports teams are known as the "Cyclones".[3] In the fall the school offers football, cross country, boys' soccer, boys' and girls' golf, girls' swimming, volleyball, and girls' tennis. In the winter SHG has boys and girls' basketball, cheerleading, hockey, poms, boys swimming, and wrestling. In the spring Sacred Heart Griffin plays baseball, softball, girls soccer, boys and girls track, and boys tennis.
The school won state championships in football in 2005, 2006, 2008, 2013 & 2014. In baseball, the Cyclones were State Champions in 1964 and 1987 with a runner-up finish in 2014. In soccer, Sacred Heart-Griffin claimed state crowns in 1999 and 2003. On the links, the Cyclones boys won back to back state golf championships in 1979 and 1980. The Girls Cross Country team won back to back State AA Championships in 2007 and in 2008.[4] The Cyclones of Cathedral High School, an all-boys predecessor to SHG, won a Catholic State Championship in basketball in 1939.[citation needed]
In 2009 the school built a 6 million dollar football stadium.
