I went there for middle school--did the famous "drive-by drills" but don't really remember any issues with undesirables. Maybe i was too young and naive to know what was going on though. Felt safe as any other school, student demographics definitely wouldn't be considered ghetto when I went.

Got my first handy behind an old oak that still stands today. We sure had some great teachers back then.

I should clarify. I didn't mean to suggest that one of my great teachers gave me the handy. It was a teacher I didn't really like because he made me run extra in gym class. We didnt wear jockstraps in those days. Just some tight shorts and gravity. Sorry for the confusion.

Considered the “ghetto” catholic school when I was a kid



The ghetto Catholic school when I was a kid was St. Gerard. At least Sacred Heart still exists.

I played little league baseball on their field back in the day

I started my baseball career playing CYO baseball at that field. Played CYO basketball in the adjacent gym. I took Catechism classes at the school and attended church there.

That mural is creepy AF. Scared the shite out of me, too




Mural by Dom Gregory De Wit, a dutch Benedictine Monk brought over to do works for the Benedictine abbeys in America. He painted works in Indiana and Southern California. He did the Mural at Sacred Heart and then lived for 10 years in Covington at St. Joseph's Abbey doing the work he was most well known for. The refectory hall at the Abbey is known as his best major work. De Wit was an irrascible character= known for doing the murals with a cigarette permanently hanging from his mouth. He was also a bit of a rebel, painting the head monk he didn't like as part of a mural with an ugly scowl.

His works outside of theology were pushing the boundaries as well. Interesting character.

My dad went there in the late 40s.
My girlfriend went there in the 90s.
My son played basketball there against Sacred Heart a few times in last 6 yrs.

It's still a good school with plenty good kids.

Not a nice part of town, and because of that, the school has been shrinking. I had some high school friends who went there.

I dont mind saying that every now and again I get a little blood moving down in my old pelican although i cant get him to plump up anymore and he sure aint coughing up any seawater. It still feels real good kinda like when I got that handy back at Sacred Heart. Anywho thanks Ms. Rutledge. You almost made an old man stiff.

Technially wasn't Sacred Heart (I think they own it now), but The Bill Wray Band and Billy Pendleton and Earth rocked the house back-in-the-day.
