<p class="fontlook"><img hspace=8 src="../new_images/srcooke.jpg" align=right>Dear Visitor, <BR>
Welcome to Carrollton School of the Sacred Heart! We hope you enjoy this glimpse into our lives at Carrollton. Children have benefited from a Sacred Heart education for over 200 years, the first school of the Sacred Heart having been founded in Amiens, France by St. Madeleine Sophie Barat in the year 1800. Since that time, Sacred Heart education has been known for excellence. Our aim has been to educate to an informed, lively faith, critical thinking and service to others. Rigorous in its intention Sacred Heart education is rooted in the love of God.  The atmosphere of a Sacred Heart school is marked with faith, openness, and respect.

<p class="fontlook">St. Madeleine Sophie Barat was a woman of her times with a vision for the future that ultimately took her education to every continent of the globe and embraced children of all races and cultures. She sought to prepare young women to take their rightful places in the world in which they found themselves, armed with strength of character, intellectual curiosity, and a "lively faith."

<p class="fontlook">Today, over 700 girls and young women from Montessori through Grade Twelve enjoy this tradition of education at Carrollton. Encouraged and supported by a loving and professional faculty, they enjoy personal growth of mind, body, and spirit from facing the challenges that confront them on a daily basis. Young graduates leave us prepared to greet their futures with confidence, joy and courage.

<p class="fontlook">Please enjoy this view into our life at Carrollton. I hope that you experience the wonder and uniqueness of Sacred Heart education through this journey on the web. Please call us if you have any questions.
