Welcome to Sacred Heart School
Founded in 1887 by Fr. Ferdinand Stick, named in honor of the Sacred Heart of Jesus by the Dominicans of Springfield, IL., this school is a place for the children of Saint Patrick's Parish, Sacred Heart Church and of the greater Pana Area, to be formed in the traditions of our Catholic Faith and educated to be the best students. We are blessed to have students from Kindergarten through Eighth Grade. Learn more >>
