Overview
Each spring the Saint Angela Award is awarded to a student in each class at Sacred Heart Academy (SHA), a Level 8 student at Sacred Heart Model School (SHMS), and faculty or staff members in each school on campus. These awardees are recognized for continually reflecting the life of St. Angela and the Ursuline Core Values of Reverence; Service; Leadership; and Community in their daily interactions with others. St. Angela Merici lived in the 1500’s; her life and actions reflected these core values. She founded the Company of Saint Ursula from which the Ursuline religious order developed. Ursuline Sisters arrived in Louisville in 1858 from Straubing, Germany to teach local German immigrant children. In 1877, they began the legacy of Sacred Heart Schools with the founding of Sacred Heart Academy and continue to sponsor Sacred Heart Schools today.
