In 1924, the Academy became two separate entities: Sacred Heart Academy, the high school, and Sacred Heart Model School, the grade school. Sacred Heart Model School was named so because the student teachers from Sacred Heart College performed their teaching practicum there – thus, a "model school". Two years later,
the foundation was laid for the second structure to house SHA. Construction
for the auditorium was begun at this time, as well. |
