[edit] History

Academy of the Sacred Heart was established in 1886 by the Society of the Sacred Heart. ^[1]

On August 1, 2002, the Board of Trustees authorized the purchase of the First Baptist Church property on St. Charles and Napoleon avenues. This was the first property acquisition for the school in 115 years. At one and a half square city blocks, the new property nearly doubles the size of the Sacred Heart campus and is located just two blocks from the Rosary Campus. Called the Mater Admirabilis Campus, it is named for the original French Quarter school.

The Mater Campus opened in the fall of 2005 and is home to the Preschool and Lower School. The new Little Hearts Early Learning Center for toddler and nursery students is also located on the site. The Bob and Jeri Nims Fine Arts Center, an auditorium with the capacity to seat 1,200 people and accommodate the entire student body for all-school liturgies as well as other large events, is a prominent feature of the campus. Other features are the gymnasium, dining hall, library, Chapel and 100-car parking lot.
