Board of Trustees FAQ
Steve Coon, Board Chair
"Over the past thirteen years, I have watched the many achievements and the success of my two children in their time at the Academy and Berchmans. Witnessing their growth into such well-rounded and goal-oriented young adults and knowing the impact that Sacred Heart has had in their lives, I am inspired to devote my time and efforts into continuing this legacy. I am honored to be able to give back by serving on the Board of Trustees for three years and as the next board chair to ensure the future of Sacred Heart for the next 200 years."
