In this edition of Stone Ridge Magazine, we explore Goal III—highlighting how students, faculty, and alumnae live out our Sacred Heart mission through faith, learning, and service. From inspiring student projects and initiatives to the achievements of the Class of 2025, these stories celebrate a community committed to justice, leadership, and global awareness.

In Grade 2, students explore identity, culture, and community through the Family Cultures project—an immersive, student-driven experience where 7- and 8-year-olds research their heritage, share stories and artifacts, and celebrate both differences and shared humanity. This hands-on project brings Goal III and Goal IV to life, fostering empathy, cultural awareness, and connection across generations.

In a once-overlooked corner of campus, Stone Ridge students have planted over 450 native trees and shrubs to create the Tiny Forest—a student-led, hands-on project that blends sustainability, faith, environmental stewardship, and leadership. Planting a self-sustaining outdoor classroom for generations to come.

Stone Ridge celebrates a milestone year with the graduation of its first Global Studies Certificate scholars—three students whose journeys highlight global awareness, intercultural connection, and Sacred Heart leadership in action. Their stories reflect a transformative program designed to cultivate compassionate, globally-minded changemakers

Congratulation to the Class of 2025—awards, honors, and colleges.

"Those three things all start with the letter C, and I want you to remember them when you don’t know what to do, when you maybe feel uncomfortable. If you focus on these three things, I believe that you will continue to do the good you’ve done at Stone Ridge, and to feel good, all your lives long."
