Ten Network of Sacred Heart Schools member schools welcome new leadership

Ten schools within the Network of Sacred Heart Schools, a network of 25 Catholic independent Sacred Heart schools and the United States – Canada Province of the Society of the Sacred Heart, welcomed new Heads of Schools and Presidents to their respective school communities this fall.

Provincial Suzanne Cooke, RSCJ, Head of the Conference of Sacred Heart Education Nat Wilburn, and several Religious of the Sacred Heart (RSCJ) from throughout the Province joined the ten school communities for commissioning and installation ceremonies and liturgies to welcome these new leaders.

Among these individuals, eight are new to the Network and three have previously served at another Network member school.

Meet those serving in new leadership positions across the Network of Sacred Heart Schools:
