Students of the Month

Hello! My name is Barron , and I am currently a senior student here at Sacred Heart-Griffin high school.

One of my favorite things about this school is how kind the staff and teachers are. Not only that, but taking so many different classes here has really helped me open my eyes to what I might consider studying in college. These four years at SHG will matter.

If there was any advice I would like to share with younger students, it would be to make sure you focus on all your school work. Also, never wait until the last minute to do something lengthy, especially an essay or project. Trust me, you will regret procrastinating on that.

I am looking forward to graduating from Sacred Heart-Griffin this year and starting my college years off. Have a great day to whoever might be reading this!

Hi! My name is Ella, and I am a junior at SHG. Here at SHG, I am involved in Key Club, French Club, and Student Ambassadors.

My favorite part about SHG is how close-knit the community is. Everyone is so welcoming and genuine. It is a blessing to be a part of such a spirited community.

My advice to underclassmen is to not be afraid to try new things and step outside of your comfort zone. Always approach every experience with an enthusiastic attitude and open mind; you never know what could come out of it! SHG offers such a variety of classes, extracurriculars, and other opportunities, so take advantage of that!

I look forward to finishing out my junior and senior year here at SHG alongside my friends. My past three years at SHG have been incredible, and I am beyond grateful for the people I’ve met and the memories I’ve made. I can’t wait to see what the next year and a half will bring for me and the Cyclone community!

Hi! My name is Cora, and I am a sophomore at SHG! I am involved in French Club, Christmas Club, Student Ambassadors, and I am a member of the tennis and soccer teams. I am also a part of the P4 program through SIU Medicine.

My favorite part of SHG is the teachers. They work hard every day to help students succeed. I am grateful to have teachers who are dedicated to the mission of SHG.

My advice to the underclassmen is to take advantage of all that SHG has to offer. There are so many clubs and sports to become involved in. Find one that you are passionate about!

This year, I am looking forward to the upcoming soccer season!

My name is Sanaia and I am a freshman! I am a Golden Angel on our poms team, while I also have been dancing for twelve years outside of school. I am a part of student ambassadors, Our Lady Nazareth, and our schools book club!

There are many aspects about SHG that are my favorite, but a few would be the dress down days, all school masses, and all the sporting events. It is also fun to spend time with friends and family while cheering for our Cyclones. These experiences have helped me meet so many people here at SHG!

In the future I am looking forward to going on Kairos during my junior and senior years! I have heard many great things about it. Most importantly I can not wait to make even more memories, while growing my relationship with Christ, here!
