The Dream Builders who envisioned and brought to life the SACS building twenty years ago deserve everlasting commendation. Their foresight and unwavering belief in the power of education and community were the driving forces behind creating this beautiful place we call home. Their dedication went beyond bricks and mortar; it was about constructing a space that unified all students, from preschool to eighth grade, under one roof.

This vision was a testament to their understanding of the significance of fostering a cohesive and inclusive environment, allowing students to learn, grow, and share experiences in a seamless educational journey. Their legacy echoes through
the halls of the SACS building, standing as a tangible testament to their commitment. This space not only physically unites our students but also symbolizes the unity of purpose and
the strength found in shared faith and educational experiences. The Dream Builders' belief in this educational community continues to shape the lives of our students, creating an
environment where learning, friendship, and a sense of belonging flourish. Their
contribution remains an enduring foundation upon which the future of our school thrives. 

Thank you, Dream Builders!

During the Aim Higher fundraising event, A Night of Light, in October of 2023, keynote speaker Andrea Urzua shared her powerful story. Andrea, an alumna of SACS, recounted her
challenging experiences in public school and her family's aspiration for her to attend a Catholic school, which seemed financially out of reach. However, thanks to the generosity of donors and the Aim Higher scholarship, Andrea's life took a transformative turn. She found her voice, joy, and faith at SACS, thanks to the supportive environment and dedicated teachers.

This scholarship not only provided financial aid but also catalyzed her personal and faith-based growth, setting the stage for her successful journey. Andrea's achievements include her participation in the PSEO program at Shakopee High School and her current pursuit of an accounting degree at the University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Management. Andrea’s continued academic success has allowed her to already secure a job with a
prestigious, local accounting firm upon graduation. Her story stands as a testament to the impact of scholarships and the transformative power of education.

SACS offers a unique educational experience that extends beyond academics, emphasizing character development as a core aspect of each student's journey. Our commitment to cultivating virtues sets SACS apart as an institution dedicated to shaping well-rounded, faith-filled individuals. Through a combination of rigorous academics and character education programs, students not only excel in their studies but also foster qualities
