Apply for Admission
Registration for students entering Sacred Heart Cathedral Catholic School is ongoing. A request for K-8 enrollment packet can be taken over the phone or by person in our school office. The family is invited to attend an informal meeting with the principal, Mr. Mike Schartz, regarding the school. At the meeting, parents will have the opportunity to formally apply to the school by filling out an Admission Form for their child(ren), and attaching the application fee to the form. Student records are requested before final acceptance is determined.
Age Requirements
Students entering pre-school must be four years old to attend class and students entering kindergarten must be five years old on or before August 31st. Formal developmental screening for kindergartners takes place at enrollment. The screening is done at school and the results will be shared with parents.
Transferring from other schools
Students entering grades other than pre-school or kindergarten will be considered for admission to Sacred Heart Cathedral Catholic School after a thorough review of prior educational records, including report cards, standardized testing and educational/psychological testing. Due to limited class size, siblings are given priority for acceptance, followed by parishioners and non-parishioners.
Immunization Information
New students entering Sacred Heart Cathedral Catholic School must have the proper immunization shots as prescribed by the state of Kansas. School immunization forms are available at the Ford County Health Office or your own private doctor's office. School records and health forms for transfer students must be obtained from the child's previous school. Parents must sign a release form at the former school in order for the records to be sent to SHCS.
