March for the Heart News

It’s time to March for the Heart!

January 16, 2026

March for the Heart Giving Week invites our entire community to come together in support of an Academy education. Each gift strengthens our mission — supporting academic excellence, nurturing faith, and forming students to lead with courage and compassion.

Inspired by St. Rose Philippine Duchesne, we are reminded that even the smallest gifts, given with love, can create lasting impact.

Every gift makes a difference. Follow us throughout the week, celebrate our progress, and help us reach our Giving Week goal — together, carrying St. Philippine’s mission forward, one heart at a time.

Help us reach our goal of $75,000! Spread the word — Let’s Make a Lasting Impact!

This year, we are happy to offer three options for your gift. Choose from the following:

The Philippine Path Fund (Annual Fund) – The Philippine Path Fund is the heartbeat of our school, supporting the learning, care, and experiences that make each school year exceptional. While tradition grounds us, The Philippine Path Fund powers what happens in our classrooms every day. Gifts to this fund provide immediate support for our students and faculty, helping fund academic programs, classroom resources, enrichment opportunities, and the many moments that shape a daily child’s growth. These contributions allow us to respond to current needs, enhance the student experience, and uphold the high standards our community has cherished for over 200 years.

General Endowment – For more than two centuries, the Academy has shaped young minds, nurtured strong character, and built a community rooted in tradition and faith. The General Endowment Fund ensures that this legacy continues—today, tomorrow, and for generations to come. Gifts to the General Endowment are permanently invested, with annual earnings supporting the school’s greatest needs and future opportunities. This steady source of support allows us to adapt, grow, and remain faithful to our mission while preserving the foundation that has sustained us for over 200 years.

Marcia Renken Endowment for Professional Faculty Development – This endowment honors Marcia Renken, a remarkable educator whose life was deeply intertwined with our school, as a student, a teacher, and, for many years, a guiding principal. Her dedication to learning, leadership, and care for every child shaped generations and continues to inspire who we are today. This endowed fund is dedicated to the ongoing professional growth of our faculty. Gifts to the endowment are permanently invested, with annual earnings supporting training, education, and development opportunities that help our teachers grow, innovate, and lead with excellence.

Thank you to our 2025 Donors for making last year a success!

Creating a Legacy at The Academy of the Sacred Heart with Alexandra Sanchez Little (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4-xN8BURvM)

The Academy’s quality education, guided by the Five Goals and Criteria, aptly and holistically prepared me for my future and opened my eyes to the beauty of God’s Love and Creation across the Earth.

― Anonymous ‘14

I cherish my education at the Academy, and I feel that along with academic studies I benefited from a firm discipline and a genuine concern for each student.
