[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I too had different impression and thought Holton felt more well-rounded and classrooms/sports facilities were nicer than SR (though the new cafeteria at SR is awesome).

I also love the “find a way or make one” ideal.  But understand how girls could be drawn to the sacred heart tradition at SR.

Just goes to show, to each their own.[/quote]

Honestly, what is the sacred heart tradition? I am a Catholic and should probably know...
I get that it's a consortium of schools, but what traditions would be a draw??[/quote]

Sacred Heart is a global network of schools started by a young Catholic French girl, Sophie Barat, in the early 19th century.  Sacred Heart schools educated women, regardless of class, long before it was socially acceptable to do so.  There is a lot of tradition surrounding Saint Sophie Barat (you can visit a shrine in Paris) and many girls feel connected to the empowerment of women and the pioneering nature of her teaching.[/quote]

Very random question but it is a Sacred Heart thing to have the girls curtsey to the Head of School/Principle in greeting every morning or just a Sacred Heart NYC thing?[/quote]

I went to another Sacred Heart on the west coast and we all had to do this curtesy back in the 1980s but I hear that all of the schools except maybe NY have dropped it.[/quote]

Yea, definitely not dropped in NYC! There is a video of it on their instagram that went semi-viral before they got smart and disabled comments. Glad to know it's not a thing everywhere. [/quote]

Graduate of a sacred heart school in the 1990s and never heard of this. DD at SR and this is not a thing there. Don't think it has anything to do with Sacred Heart.[/quote]
