Alumni

Our Alumni & Supporters Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, exists solely for the benefit of Sacred Heart Catholic School. Funds raised by the Alumni are used to assist a variety of needs including building and maintenance, textbooks and athletic expenses. Our dedicated Alumni work closely with the Sacred Heart Principal to address the most pressing needs, while annually dedicating funds go to the budget to stabilize tuition in an effort to keep our school affordable and accessible to anyone seeking the privilege of a Catholic education.

Get Involved

The Alumni & Supporters organization includes the entire school family: alumni, parents, teachers, parents of former students and all supporters of the school. It is through this organization that we work so hard to save and/or raise money to go toward reducing the cost of tuition for EVERY child who attends our school. The Alumni & Supporters also assist with many other expenses such as the new school bus, campus improvements, technology and so much more.

Please understand the importance of your part as a parent and supporter of SHCS. Every family is required to earn a minimum of 25 “fundraising hours”. Each family has the opportunity to help with the events of their choice. If you choose not to sign up, you will be assigned to the events that are most in need. If you choose not to participate in fundraising, you may pay $1,000 to the school. Please mail checks to the Sacred Heart Alumni P.O. Box 97 Muenster, TX 76252.

Each activity has an assigned “hour” value based on relative difficulty (time, responsibility, etc.) of the task. When signing up, you will be asked to sign a name and phone number for every activity summing to at least 25 hours. Once signed up for an activity it becomes your responsibility to find a substitute if you are unable to fulfill your obligation. All event coordinators are responsible for attending the Alumni meeting before and after their event to get any help they may need, to give a final report on the event and take notes to keep on file with the Alumni for future reference.

We would like to thank all who have helped make SHCS so successful for the last 135 years. Please be generous with your time, talent and treasure as parents, teachers, students, alumni and supporters of this great school. Your children and all the students in SHCS are well worth the effort! Please stay involved and have fun working with other school families. 

You are welcome and encouraged to attend our Alumni & Supporters meeting held the third Wednesday of each month at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Muenster.

Sign ups are available online via Sign Up Genius. To sign up, go to our SERVICE HOUR SIGN UP PAGE. For questions, please contact Chad Henscheid at 940.634.9928.
