♥ Be a Valkyrie for the day when you shadow at Sacred Heart Academy! ♥
Spend the day with one of our students and meet her teachers and friends, experience SHA’s classes and curriculum, and tour the campus. A typical shadow day is Monday through Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30pm (2pm on Wednesday). Shadows receive a complimentary lunch and a special gift for spending the day with us.
We would love to pair your daughter with a SHA student that has similar interests/academic level, or you may request a host.
Shadowing begins September 15th for current 8th-grade students and will continue throughout the school year. We recommend 8th graders shadow before the placement test on December 13th.
**Please note our school schedule has changed for the 25-26 year. We will have a late opening every Wednesday at 8:55am. If you are choosing a Wednesday to shadow, drop off will be moved back to 9:30am. Monday, Tuesday and Thursday drop off will still be at 8:30am.**
Seventh graders may shadow starting in January 2026.
NOTE: Dates with ** coincide with a "Heart to Heart". We offer parents this opportunity to join us for coffee and a small group discussion with our leadership team. You’ll learn what Sacred Heart Academy has to offer your family and take a student-guided tour. The discussion and tour are approximately an hour total and begin at 8:30am.
To receive an excused absence from your grade school, please obtain a Shadowing Documentation Form from your school office two weeks before your shadow visit.
We may not be able to accommodate visits scheduled less than 48 hours prior to preferred date. Please call or email Stephanie Williams at 502.896.3926 or swilliams@shslou.org with any questions!
We can’t wait to welcome your Future Valkyrie and hope she finds her FOREVER right here!
