Grade 8 students gain confidence as they share their gifts with Grade 5 students to offer support and create a sense of belonging in the Big/Little Gator program in Middle School, reflecting Goals III, IV, and V of Sacred Heart education—another day-to-day example of living our mission.

Each year, we award the Barat Medal to several leaders who we believe have made extraordinary contributions—volunteers, benefactors, or other stakeholders who are strategic thought leaders—people who have helped profoundly enrich the course of our mission through their actions. It is the highest honor that Stone Ridge presents to any non-student of the School.

At Stone Ridge, global education, explicitly reflected in the Goals and Criteria, is embedded throughout Sacred Heart education by engaging through Social Action, DEI programming, student activity groups, and travel opportunities.

Stone Ridge faculty present at ICGS Symposum on forming students as global citizens, leaders, and allies in a 21st-century world through Sacred Heart education.

Two new spaces in the Lower and Middle Schools are opening new avenues of creativity in making. The Lower School Creation and Innovation Station, named by Grade 4 students, and the Middle School Makerspace, led by Educational Technologist Rick Alfonso, are transforming classrooms into makerspaces and inspiring project-based learning throughout the curriculum.
