LOUISVILLE, KY (October 2007) - Courtney Hart, a junior at Sacred Heart Academy, beat out thousands of entrants to have her poem selected for publication in the Creative Communications anthology, A Celebration of Young Poets. A spokesperson for the publication noted “The fact that you have a student accepted makes a strong statement about your school. Being published represents talent, hard work and dedication from teachers and students.”
In addition, Dr. McAuliffe announced that Rachel Corbett and Kristen Merz were recognized for their exceptional academic promise by being named Commended Students in the 2008 National Merit Scholarship Program. These students placed among the top five percent of more than 1.4 million students who entered the 2008 competition by taking the 2006 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test.

Blanket of Time
While the rain clouds my vision
It covers my thoughts
A dark, damp blanket
Of loss
Extinguishing the embers of my past
Tearing away our youthful years
And leaving us with nothing
We like to believe
We are invincible
But time mocks us as it steals our surroundings
As night descends upon us we realize our insignificance
And submit to the inevitable grasp of nature
