Welcome to Duchesne Academy of the Sacred Heart and Duchesne Preschool.  I am pleased that you are interested in learning more about our school and I am confident you will find this site informational.  It is my hope that this site gives you a glimpse into the long history and uniqueness of our school.

For 125 years Duchesne has offered students an extraordinary preparation for college and for life.  A foundation grounded in the five goals of Sacred Heart education.  As a student at Duchesne you will grow in a personal relationship with God, value the pursuit of education, embrace your responsibility to share your gifts with others, cherish the close and caring community and grow responsibly in an atmosphere of wise freedom.  These goals make a Sacred Heart education a gift that lasts a lifetime.

Duchesne offers a college-preparatory academy for young women in grades 9-12 and a preschool for girls and boys. As a small school with an enrollment of less than 300 in the academy and 75 in the preschool we offer a personalized approach to education where teachers know students by name and the friendships formed between the students last a lifetime.

Founded in 1881 by the Religious of the Sacred Heart, Duchesne was built on the belief that educating the whole child is essential.  At Duchesne we are dedicated to providing students with a rigorous yet supportive atmosphere to develop moral, spiritual, social and intellectual lives.  We welcome you to learn more about all that is special about Duchesne.

Sincerely,

Sheila K. Haggas
