Our History

The heart of man plans his way, but the LORD establishes his steps

Proverbs 16: 9

The imposing edifice of Sacred Heart Convent School is fortified by the foundation stones of sacrifice and commitment blessed by His will. The divine intervention had a tangible experience when Sri Isa Dass, the then Deputy Commissioner requested Sr Violette through Fr Hyacinth OFM( Cap) to start an English medium school in the city which would disseminate value based progressive education with a humane touch.

Responding to the request Mother Macrina, the then Superior General deputed three sisters from Mangalore to Ludhiana.  The zeal to make a difference was the impetus behind the indefatigable efforts of the sisters, benefactors and the local community to spruce up an old engineering college fixing the inauguration date to July 1965.

The glowing testimony of our guided legacy is the nostalgic fact of the overwhelming 350 registrations for admission received in less than a week.

The school took its first step ahead with classes L.K.G to II with Sr Violet as the Principal, ably assisted by Sr Mirabelle, Sr Dorita and Sr Evangeline. The sisters braved the first test of faith within 3 months facing uncertainty of life due to the frequent air raids during the Indo-Pak war of 1965. Such adversities brought out the innate fortitude of the founding sistersas the school surged ahead, surmounting all challenges.

March 19, 1996 became momentous when the school building shifted to Sarabha Nagar where it stands stately and magnificent today. Future Principals Sr Miriam and Sr Nora initiated further guilded chapters in the legacy of the school.  Their undaunted spirits headed new era of accomplishments for the ever growing Sacred Heart family. The school song ‘Come join the happy band ‘and the house system which form the very identity of a Sacred Heartian were introduced, their legacy undiminished.

Transcending with time the science block, state of art auditorium and a separate K.G block was inaugurated. The school was affiliated to C.B.S.E from 1997. The incessant efforts of the successive Principals Sr Marie Therese, Sr Rosalie, Sr Maria Leena , Sr Chantal helped the school stride ahead to scale greater horizons.  Their vision to amalgamate technology with everyday teaching has seen a concrete output in smart classes, language labs, online library, mathematics and science parks, and recording studio among other infrastructural advancements. The winds of change continue to provide fresh breath of life and learning under the stalwart leadership of the present Principal of Sr Veena D’Souza.

Today the school stands apart, firm and resplendent inspiring responsible responsive citizens who shall be harbingers of change.
